DISH Voice Remote: New Companion to the Hopper 3
The DISH® Voice Remote makes watching TV with your Hopper® simpler than ever. Equipped with the latest Ottoā¢Ā technology, the new remote helps you find your favorite programming with the sound of your voice and navigate faster with a new, simplified button layout. Plus, the remote comes with features that relieve common frustrations with using a remote control.
Find Shows Just by Speaking into the Remote
The Voice Command feature of DISHās new smart remote lets you explore channels or go right to your favorite programs nearly hands-free. Just press the microphone button and speak your command, and the Hopper serves up what you want to watch. The remote responds to a variety of commands: you can say the exact title of a show, a genre, an actorās name, or even a Hopper menu. See sample commands in the FAQ below.
Navigate More Easily with the New Layout
If you like the tactile experience of using a remote, the new smart remote from DISH also comes with a simpler layout and button design to help you navigate more easily. The new design simplifies navigation by reducing the number of buttons, increasing button and text size, and adding a touchpad that responds to movements like swiping, scrolling, and tapping.
2 New User-Friendly Functions
In addition to a sleeker design, this DISH remote comes with two new features that make it even easier to use: One is the backlighting button, which you can press to see the remote better without getting up to turn the lights on; the second is the numeric keypad, which you can toggle on and off when you want to type numbers directly or go back to the touchpad.
