At the 2016 International Consumer Electronics Show, DISH
Network L.L.C. unveiled a revolutionary new personal mobile video
drive called HopperGO. The 64 GB, rechargeable battery-powered
device provides residential customers with the ability to securely
transfer up to 100 hours of recorded TV shows and movies from a
Hopper DVR for on-the-go, offline viewing. At its late Q1 launch,
it will work in conjunction with the DISH Anywhere app on mobile
phones and tablets; no Internet connection is required.

HopperGO evolved from a long line of DISH technology, including
the Hopper Transfers feature, available since January 2013, and the
2006 PocketDISH, each of which gave customers the ability to move
recorded television content to a portable device. Now the whole
family can easily take shows on vacation.
“Customers loved Hopper Transfers’ capacity for offline,
on-the-go viewing, but we found that they worried about how it
impacted storage on their smartphones and tablets,” said Vivek
Khemka, DISH Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer.
“HopperGO manages the burden of storage, while using Wi-Fi to
simultaneously deliver up to five independent recordings to up to
five different users.”
Available late Q1 2016, HopperGO will be compatible with the
upcoming Hopper 3, as well as DISH’s existing Hopper 2 receiver. It
is priced at $99 for both new and existing DISH subscribers, and is
not subject to any monthly fees.
Technical Specs
With 64 GB of memory, HopperGO can hold up to 100 hours of
recordings transferred via USB 2.0. The drive creates its own
private wireless cloud that supports simultaneous offline viewing
of different programs on up to five tablets and smartphones via the
DISH Anywhere app. HopperGO is capable of up to four hours of
viewing on a single charge and can additionally be used while
charging.
