Set up a recording, enable the “prepare for mobile” and when you are on your network, you can transfer to your authenticated device for offline viewing. Want music or any SiriusXM channel playing, all of the non-premium satellite radio channels are available for your listening pleasure. Do remember though, this uses your broadband connection at home so be careful of overages. If you want to catch up on a premium channel series, more often than not, you can do that with the on-demand feature. Lots of on-demand options with optional BlockBuster and premium channels. PIP only works on the Hopper and not on the smaller Joeys because the regular Joey has only one tuner. #8 PiP/Multi-ViewĬan’t decide what to watch? Use Picture-in-Picture or the multi-view (6 screen) view. So if one person is cooking in the kitchen while others are watching in another room, you can share the viewing experience. Anyone can play, pause and control what is being viewed. Want everyone to be able to see and control a show currently being viewed? Just join the stream. Sometimes it is hard to break the habit of actually pointing the remote at the TV. No more need for line of sight with an IR (InfraRed) remote, you can change channels from another room or under the covers. You could even conceivably hook up an outdoor TV viewing experience! Best thing is, no more coax cables stringing through walls, under floors or dropped from ceilings. Using a private 802.11ac connection, the latest and fastest wireless standard, the Access Point can stream to multiple Wireless Joeys. #5 Wireless Joeyįorget the cables, with the WiFi Access point ($50 purchase), the Wireless Joey can be put anywhere the signal is strong and stream everything, even with a relatively weak signal. What does this mean? Basically, you can record even more shows simultaneously than what you normally have with just the Hopper. While I don’t have this, requires running 3 lines from your physical dish, it adds another tuner. It pulls all of your recorded content directly to your Joey. Run a cable and with a small form factor, you have HD everywhere – the Joey connects to your Hopper giving you a full DISH experience. You can easily filter the show guide as well. This app/web service has so much power actually, I prefer it over the on-screen menu at times, especially when it comes to recording shows or setting up series recordings. Previous DVRs from Dish required a second Sling device. The Hopper has Sling technology actually build into the device. You can watch your recorded shows, on-demand shows or live TV remotely using the app or website. You can spend a lot of time exploring all of the options (and more features keep getting added).Įxtend your viewing beyond your home and within your home. I have yet to run out of space and always like having options. Multiple tuners (3) which allow for 6 recordings. I’m curious to know what are your favorite items.īrains of the setup. Here are my top twenty things that I like about DISH. You can even take the Wireless Joey anywhere you want to connect another TV, provided it is in range with the Access Point. You simply connect the Wireless Joey with the DISH WiFi Access Point and magically, your media is streaming. And, there were no cable that needed to be run. And now the garage has its own dedicated Wireless Joey (complete with its own remote) in the garage. ![]() Then I got an upgrade to my DISH environment. To make a long story short, I successfully ran coax to the garage and I had DISH TV running there. I had tested out the RF Remote (again, see below) and I was able to change channels from the garage (controlling the bedroom Joey) so I figured that I could just take the remote out to the garage and whatever I was watching there would also be playing in the bedroom. Before I got the Wireless Joey (see below for details), I ran a super long coax cable that was split from an adapter I had on my wired Joey in our bedroom. Recently, my wife and I cleared out our garage in order to have a place where the kids could hang out and play video games or watch movies or TV (also, I kind of needed a “man cave” where I could go and watch sports). So I figured that I would draw a line in the sand and write about all of the things that my DISH environment has (as of November 2014).Īnother part of the inspiration for writing this was a little anecdote on setting up a Story about running cords to garage. And actually, the changes kept coming from Dish. Another part of me had a feeling that more was to come. Part of me wanted to really use this new hardware for a while in order to fully understand it. But for one reason or another, I kept holding off. Originally, I was going to write about DISH’s “new” Hopper and Joey hardware I actually started this review back in September 2012. ![]()
