How much would you pay for the new Dish "concept" remote?

[navychop]

I'm referring to the one that flips over to reveal a sorta QWERTY keyboard and also acts like a mouse. This may or may not come out. I doubt that this would be a standard remote, as it is not essential to the operation of the H/J system as it exists today.

Of course, this poll only refers to people who have, or who intend to get, a Hopper/Joey system.

My Samsung 60" TV came with one of those remotes with a QWERTY keyboard on the back. I've never flipped it over.

Care to add a monthly fee answer? Cause that's my guess to have the feature turned on and get the remote.......

I'd be fine with a one time fee. Not sure it'd be at all worth paying an additional monthly fee.

 

[navychop]

Yeah, I think a one time fee is reasonable. Not sure I'd want to pay a monthly fee, but if it were only a buck or two I'd have to consider it. Of course, if there's a monthly fee there should be no up front fee.

Nah. I'd rather pay once, just don't want a monthly irritating fee.

+ 1

Well this is why I bring it up. It could be a one time fee, like EHD was, or it could be small monthly fee which is what I'm betting on, like the Logitech enhancement was. I 'm not advocating either just saying it probably should be in the poll because I think it's highly likely.

 

[navychop]

Yep. Wish I'd thought of that.

But then, how much per month? I'd find a monthly fee a lot more irritating for a remote than a flat fee.

Way back in the 7100 Dish Player days Dish sent free replacement remotes (via Fed-Ex) when they first added DVR to it

If there's an add'l monthly fee, I'm not interested.

who were the ones that actually voted they would pay $100 for a dish remote???

There's a core group of Dish fans here that love everything Dish does, that I can imagine would pay that much.

same here

I just want to put bookmarks in my DVR recordings. Don't need a new remote for that.

I did, just to see GaryPen's reaction.

 

[Bobby]

Definitely no monthly fee. Maybe $50, $25 is better...

 

[agarrett22]

I would say at most $50,hope for less though, would buy at least 4 of them so $25 would be my ideal price range considering that replacements of our current remotes ar only $20

 

[GaryPen]

I did, just to see GaryPen's reaction.

And I have a pretty good idea who the other two are, as well.

 

[dare2be]

And I have a pretty good idea who the other two are, as well.

And I was spot on that you would erroneously include me in that whole group of two.

 

[Scherrman]

I don't think they would make it a monthly fee. Dish has too many monthly fees to keep track of now.
