When you turn on your TV and Hopper this morning please be sure to check out the new Olympic TV app that was added overnight.
Select the blue button on the remote control to start the application. An overlay will appear on screen with live TV playing at 70 percent the original size and a reverse-L shape screen that features medal counts, top stories, TV schedule and Team USA news. Expand the app to full screen to see athlete news and stories about London in Destination London.
· Medal Count -- The medal count screen will display up-to-the-minute tallies on the medal count, including Country, number of Gold, Silver, Bronze medals won, along with the total number of medals for each country.
· Top Stories -- This section will display the top news stories from the Olympics and will be continuously updated as stories develop from the games.
· TV Schedule -- The TV Schedule section will display times and channels that the NBC Networks will be showing Olympic coverage on DISH. When the user presses select on an event, the event tile flips to reveal the options to watch or record.
· USA News -- USA News will give up-to-the-minute news on Team USA. This section will be updated as breaking news happens on any event that includes Team USA.
· Athlete News -- The Athlete News section provides news articles about specific athletes.
· Destination London -- The Destination London section features stories about the host city of London.
Throughout the next couple of weeks this app is available to DISH customers on the Hopper and our ViP series receivers. Please let me know if you have any questions as you use this new feature.
