Does anyone know how to bring up the mini guide at the bottom with this remote? The 52.0 all you pushed was the right arrow key. Tried everything with the 50.0 but no luck 
Press Recall...Does anyone know how to bring up the mini guide at the bottom with this remote? The 52.0 all you pushed was the right arrow key. Tried everything with the 50.0 but no luck
I take that back, that's not the mini guide.
I got it I got it, simply swiping to the right on the touch pad (without pressing of course) I kept getting it to come up when I was messing with it just now without really knowing how I was doing it lol, I was double tapping then swiping and everything. Finally got it! Thought I was going to have to go back to the the 52.0 remote simply because I didn't think this feature existed. Thankfully it does. I use this feature more then anything when browsing for something to watch. 
Got my 50 about a week ago. I really like this remote, even though the key layout is the same for the buttons below the touch pad and the 52 above the number keys I am not hitting the recall button accidentally. I like to record football games and start watching when the game is about half way through. Hitting recall was a real nightmare, since it kicks you out of the recording and (unless you want to go to live tv) forces you to fast forward from the beginning to where you were. I was really hating the 52 remote and the 50 has resolved all of my issues. Love my Hopper 3.
No sir, the 50.0 voice remotes are not included without additional cost. All Hopper 3s still come with a 52.0 remote. DISH Corporate charges $50 if you want the voice remote. Although if you sign up as a new customer through an "authorized dealer", if you have great credit, they'll give it to you free if you make them think it would be a deal breaker. I know this from personal experience.
They are SWEET though, if you ask the remote "who you gonna call?", it pulls up Ghostbusters, future playings and/or on-demand.
$30 was/is the special introductory price from Dish directly. I don't know when/if that special expires.
I looked it up yesterday at MyDish and it was $30...$30 was/is the special introductory price from Dish directly. I don't know when/if that special expires.
It still is not in MyDish account. I don't know if it will show up after my HWSs has the new UI.
Well, I am hoping if I call DISH they will sell me one once the HWS has the new UI. I already got me one from Solid Signal but want some more.
The 50.0 remotes cost dealers more than $30 each so I don't think Dish can keep selling them so cheaply forever.
