We've added a Hopper and a Joey

It might sound like we've taken in a couple of kangaroos, but it's just an upgrade to our Dish network.

The Hopper will allow us to record up to 16 programs at once, and automatically records all five prime time stations every day.  The part I liked is that it automatically eliminates all the commercials...no fast forwarding required.


If the program we're watching is "on demand" we can pause live TV.  I have no idea how that works, it just seems like magic to me. It just slid under the TV...whew.

There is a game finder app that I used recently to find the Packer game.  You just click on the name of the game and it takes you to the correct channel.

The Joey is a tiny little box that allows a second TV to be utilized in the same manner.  We went with the wireless version so allow for easy rearranging of the room, no need to connect to a cable.

It's the little things in life that make things easier and fun.
