Another Beta... Stay Tuned!

[Scott Greczkowski]

Hey folks... for you guys who have been kicking the tires of the new Interface I have been contacted by DISH about an upcoming hardware test and they will be looking for 50 SatelliteGuys members to help them test it.

Now I can't say what it is at the moment, but since you guys took a gamble and tried the new Carbon UI (and provided some really good feedback) I wanted to give you a heads up that in the next day or so I will be making a post about seeking beta testers to help out....

I want you guys first, so here is your warning to keep checking SatelliteGuys often for when you can sign up...

Thanks for being SatelliteGuys!

A new OTA adapter that lets you record properly?!?

(sorry, couldn't resist )

Ok. That's a beta I'd be willing to participate in. Assuming I never reveal participation- and Dish never reveals who participated.

Beta for hopper 3?

A new switch I hope!

If it is what he posted on the homepage, then it is a remote for the Hopper 3. Guess I am out of luck with my HWS.

Yep, I would say you are out of luck and me too. I sure was hoping DISH was going to test the DPH42 switch!

Considering that switches are not normally installed by customers, I don't see Dish doing a customer-based test with a switch.

I'm ready and waiting for whatever it is.

I believe "it" is the Hopper 3 voice remote being discussed in another thread at this very moment. Better hurry over to the other thread and sign up, if interested.

Edit - DWS44 beat me to the punch....

Yep, I hear ya.

Yup originally when I was contacted it was for the Hopper 2 / 3. But what they sent me to announce was for the Hopper 3.

Hopefully they give me one for the Hopper 2 as well in the future.

I guess us Hopper2 guys got all excited over nothing for now. Oh well. I'm not ready to move to a Hopper3 just to get a new remote to test.

I'll be here if it happens for the H2s with CarbonUI, but not holding my breath any longer..........................shucks!
