This whole thing reminds me of a little over a year ago when people thought that the first Joey should be free.

Still do. The MRV or whole home fee should cover the first Joey.

I agree, but I'm just being realistic here. Dish charges fees "because we can" whenever the opportunity arises .

It's things like this that make people curse the FCC for not applying the standards for cable to all pay-tv providers (i.e. clear QAM (or the satco equivalent) and cable cards for equipment that would work with all providers).

Hmmm. Remember when Echostar was trying to sell receivers to cable companies? Maybe they should just put out a Hopper with a cable card slot and do an end-run around those guys.

3) if I own a implementable device, such as a TV, or remote viewing display such as a phone, tablet or computer, service is included on it under the hopper fee.

Or an owned Joey!

I think it would be better (if they are going to charge) to have a one time, reasonable, per-account "Smart TV Access" fee like they used to do for EHD users. However, I doubt there will be no fee at all.

This is similar to what DTV does with their Genie and not needing a receiver on Samsung TVs (RVU built in devices). They charge a monthly fee for those, even though there is no DTV equipment.

Is all pure revenue for the satellite companies when they do this. So are additional receiver fees, dvr fees, hd fees , tv 2 fees, no phone connection fees, etc.

Any demos of the Android app?

Here's a view of the inside of a tailgater for those of you wondering.

Any demos of the Android app?

I didn't see it at all in the technology booth.

 

[Scherrman]

Here's the new portable dish from Winegard.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Hmm that Wineguard dish gets BOTH Western and Eastern Arc! It must be bigger then the tailgater in order to get the Eastern Arc.

It is bigger. Pretty cool looking contraption.

Didn't get a price on it.

 

[rglore]

Didn't get a price on it.

Single satellite version is $450, this three sat model is the same size (21") and available in August.

 

[TheKrell]

It seems to be sitting in a bowl-shaped mount. Is it automatic like the tailgater?

It needs manual leveling and elevation set but the direction is automatic.
