Dish has released Hopper Duo, its dual-tuner HD set-top solution for one and two-TV households.
The new STB includes the modern Hopper user interface, with Wi-Fi connectivity, a 500GB hard drive for up to 125 hours of HD DVR recording, compatibility with Amazon Alexa voice control, universal search, Bluetooth audio support via adapter, picture-in-picture viewing, Remote Finder, and apps like Game Finder, Pandora and Dish On-Demand, with Netflix coming soon.
Hopper Duo ships with Dish’s new voice remote and supports a second HDTV when paired with a Joey streaming client. With two tuners, Hopper Duo customers can watch or record two live programmes simultaneously. If a user is recording two live shows, they can still watch previously recorded titles from their DVR or anything from the on-demand catalogue.
Qualified new and existing users can receive a Hopper Duo at no upfront cost. The Hopper Duo system requires a whole-home DVR fee of $10 per month, with an additional $7 per month required for a Joey.
