Hopper 3 Remote is Awful

If the voice feature works well, that will be a great tool. I want to tell the remote WHEN to listen, unlike Alexa, which listens all of the time. I just watched the Dish Christmas commercial where the snowman uses the Echo Dot to search for shows since he can't type with his stick arms, and he saves Christmas! Yay! I'm just not comfortable with a unit that listens all of the time. The old Big Brother concept. I'm just an old school kind of guy.

It looked like a take off of the original Rudolph TV show. But Abominable wasn't in the commercial. Too bad, xfoneguy!

You’d probably like the Amazon Tap then. Push button to make her listen.

I haven't seen that yet. Now that I could live with.

The tap is also wireless and can move around the house or in my case, backyard during yard work days.

I just looked it up on Amazon. $129. I put it on my wish list. Thanks for the tip, ChadT.

No problem. I have 1 of each. The tap, dot and echo
