DISH is rolling out a new user interface, Carbon, as the latest upgrade to the Hopper DVR. Unveiled at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, the new interface incorporates user feedback that asked for better search capability and visibility. The Hopper has a new look that makes it easier than ever to find the shows you want, while preserving the functionality of previous versions. The new interface borrows features from today's smartphones, making it a familiar experience for users. Here are a few of the outstanding characteristics of the latest Hopper user interface.

Is this a New New CUI or the same old CUI? If the latter, I'll pass.

It is what is on the Hopper 3 today and maybe the HWS tomorrow. By the time it gets to the HWS things will have smoothed out...

O. From what I am reading I certainly hope things are smoothed out. I did the forced update to the CUI and am so glad that a couple days later got the S529, with its own issues, reversion and am scared to death of it screwing up my two HwS's. I even passed on an H3 upgrade due to all the issues.
