That's the Internet we know and love.
I think I download some Hopper 3 docs from your shop's web site:

I just talked to my distributor and they have had the Hopper 3 in stock for a while now. I'm able to place my order now they just can't ship anything until Dish gives the word. Before you ask, no, I was not given a date yet. 
Ok, I placed my order for a Hopper 3, two Joey 2 receivers, a solo hub and the hybrid LNB. I was told it will ship out next week. He told me probably the 25th. According to the retailer chat they said retailers would get them 3 days before the release which would put it at the 28th like previously posted on here. Still nothing official but it's something.

Awaiting anxiously.... About to become a DISH customer again.
I'm excited too. I love when there are new products to talk about. It gets too quiet in here otherwise.
The retailer I bought from said that Dish told him Monday the 25th to order. Pushed back by one week.I just talked to my distributor and they have had the Hopper 3 in stock for a while now.

Same here. I don't even need to look at the 40.0 remote at all. It's become as easy as typing on a keyboard. I don't need to learn a new remote just because they added voice control which I most likely would not use either.
I asked if they had them in stock and they did. Plenty of Hopper 3 and Joey 2 receivers. They said I could preorder them and it would ship when Dish gives the word. He said it wouldn't ship until next week so I asked if he had an idea of which day. He told me the 25th would be likely but he didn't know when they would be available to customers. Dish said that retailers would get them three days before they were available to customers so it sounds right to me.
In case I've missed it....
Are the Joey 2's automatically included with H3 upgrades or must they be ordered separately. I thought I'd seen comments about compatibility with current Joeys but I certainly want the more quicker response if I can get it.
You would have to request them or Dish is going to look at your set up and make it so your old Joeys get swapped out. If you call Dish they will know what you need.
I have two hoppers a Joey 1 and a Wireless Joey. I will obviously be replacing one older Hopper with the Hopper 3. The other Hopper and Joey 1 will be replaced with Joey 2 receivers. The Wireless Joey will stay put.
I don't think that the voice remote could understand my Southern Appalachian accent. You ever watch "Moonshiners" Sound close to them, particularly the ones from Tennessee, Mark and Digger.
Thanks for the clarification - so, I take it that Joey 2.0 is an actual designation now & marked as such (no more checking the manufacturing date)?
EDIT: Final question...am I correct that the Joey 2 is merely upgraded hardware from the original and the upcoming 4K Joey is a different model altogether?
There are distinct models:
Joey (now referred to as "Joey 1")
Joey 2 (released around the beginning of 2014, also referred to as Joey CR)
Wireless Joey
SuperJoey
4K Joey
Joey (now referred to as "Joey 1")
Joey 2 (released around the beginning of 2014, also referred to as Joey CR)
Wireless Joey
SuperJoey
4K Joey

Exactly same boat. Waiting to ditch U-Verse and come back once this is released.
