Dish 50.0 (Voice remote)

[superM]

Has anyone heard about an estimate on the release date?

Also, for those of you that got Hopper 3's, is the upgrade free? What about for 4k Joeys?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

No release date on the 50,0.

Hopper 3 upgrades can be free or cost you up to $150 depending on your account history. And the 4K Joeys are $50 extra each if you want one.

Sorry to clarify, I meant would Hopper 3 users who get the 52.0 remote now get the 50.0 remote free.

From what I understand you will be able to purchase it later if you want the touchpad and voice search features. The 52.0 is the remote that comes with the Hopper 3.

This site, of course, will be the first to announce it's availability, I'm sure.

Installed Hopper 3 & 3 4K Joeys yesterday. No charge on Hopper 3 4K joeys were $50.00 ea one time charge but was waved by upper account mgr.
The current Hopper 3's ship with 52.0 remote & thankfully compatible with 40.0 remote as well.
Tech called in at my request & was told when the 50.0 remote is available you can call in & order for a separate charge. Amount unknown at time.
Hope this helps.

I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere (I have a feeling it has....)
is there a rough time frame for 50.0 to be released?

I hadn't realized it wasn't out yet and was disappointed to see 52.0 with my install. But now I know why!

According to the DISH website, the voice remote will be $49.

kind of too bad for us - those who upgrade after the new voice remote is released will get it for free - it will apparently be the standard remote. But we will have to drop another $50 to get it

But then, we do have the privilege of using the new Hopper NOW!

The sacrifices we make to be early-adopters.

If I read correctly, $49 is for "existing users" - new users would get the 50.0 with the H3 upgrade. At least that's what I read on the website.

That's flat out unfair. If dish is providing voice remotes with future units, they need to offer them free or for free with trade in of the 52 remote.

I thought that Vivek said they would come with the Hopper 3 so I just expected to get one for free once they were released

I agree

I doubt Dish will hold to the $49.00 for early adopters. We will see.

Maybe if we all whine enough?

And why, exactly, is this unfair? We got the remote that was being delivered at time of release. Would the other one have been nicer? Yes, I think so. It was not ready. That really is all there is to it, as far as I know. I think that a $49 "upgrade fee" for a voice controlled, touchpad remote is a deal.

I've got a touchpad, voice controlled remote with my tv. It is sitting where it needs to, in a box so I'm not tempted to use it. I'll be saving myself $49...

And when the touch remote comes out they'll be whining for a free 52.0 remote because their friend got one with an early Hopper and they like that better.
