DISH Introduces the DISH Hopper HD DVR System

May 1, 2012 - PRLog -- On March 15th 2012, DISH introduced the DISH Hopper, a whole-home HD DVR system that will allow users the ability to watch and record up to 6 HD shows simultaneously.

When the DISH Hopper was introduced at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year, it was awarded the coveted Popular Mechanics “Editors’ Choice” Award, finished as a finalist by CNET, and given the honor of the CES Innovations 2012 Design and Engineering Award.

The DISH Hopper consists of a main unit that serves as the primary HD DVR and has 2 additional components known as “Joeys” that allow the Hopper to supply DVR function for up to 4 rooms. With the DISH Hopper subscribers can start a recording in one room, move to another room where they can continue to watch the program, and then finish watching it in yet another room. What separates the DISH Hopper from other HD DVRs in the industry are these unique features:

2 TB hard drive that can supply up to 250 hours of HD programming. The 2 TB hard   drive is the largest in the industry, and has set a new standard for others to follow.

The ability to record up to 6 HD shows simultaneously during primetime hours.

Access to PrimeTime Anytime, a new service from DISH that provides primetime shows On Demand from major networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX, with recordings from the original airing date for up to 8 days afterward.

The ability to watch and control the DVR in up to 4 different rooms.

As an incentive to give subscribers a chance to experience this latest technology, there’s currently a DISH Hopper deal where new subscribers that choose the America’s Top 200 or higher can get the DISH Hopper for free.
