[DISH TECH 4]

There's a new Joey 4 and a new wireless access point coming soon. I wonder when ?

EDIT:
Well guys, just got confirmation on the new receiver. There are 3 new ones coming out!
- Hopper 4
- Joey 4
- Wifi Joey 4

The Hopper 4 is going to have an Android based system. I'll update more details when I have them!

Standard answer: Soon.

Definition of "soon": Sometime between now and never.

My question is wouldn’t a new receiver be called Hopper 4?

DISH considers Joeys to be receivers (no tuners, relying on content from a Hopper).

Ok you learned me something. I prefer something with tuners.

FCC applications aren't a particularly telling indicator of what is "coming soon". DIRECTV's replacement for their C71 "Osprey" streaming device was filed two years ago and it still isn't out. Dave Zatz posted his notes about the Hopper Plus, Joey 4 and wireless Joey 4 just this past June.

I think "coming soon" is probably premature.

I would analyze dish FW streams - they usually testing new devices and new FW could reveal it. Remember when info about "Zapper" FW posted ? Then Wally came out

Oh I'm not talking about the FCC. I saw the new additions on my inventory list today.

It was a time when Ergen been on TV with news about devices, programs, etc. Someone remember Bo-Decky (?) tool what he presented ?

I always liked when Charlie chats were on DISH network.

Retailer chats were more informative though. Should have made retailer chats available to everyone and not just retailers.

I miss the Charlie Chats as well although it did appear that they jumped the shark at the end.

Interesting, how tight the Android on H4 would be ? I would expect it's totally restricted to dish site.

Nonsense! That would substantially defeat the purpose of using Android.

I agree, but it will be interesting to see just how Android is implemented in the H4. It's good to see Linux spreading into yet another market anyway.

Isn't Linux under hood of H3 ?

It could be... I haven't seen a comprehensive breakdown of the H3 OS though, that spells that out. With the H4 implementing Android it's a given of course.

I would be surprised if *nix hasn't been the underlying platform starting with the 501.

I would be surprised if *nix hasn't been the underlying platform starting with the 501.

Could be... I know the Hoppers have been using the Broadcom 742n "System on a Chip" series chips with embedded MoCa, but I don't know what OS they're based on.

Nope, DP5xx used OS20 !
