DISH is now the first major U.S. pay-TV provider to offer a
whole-home 4K Netflix experience. After offering Netflix Ultra HD
titles on its Hopper 3 DVR since April 2016, the company added the
app to its 4K Joey client. Now DISH customers have the ability to
stream the robust catalog of Ultra HD TV shows and movies on
Netflix in multiple rooms throughout the home.

When connected to a Hopper 3, DISH’s 4K Joey provides similar TV
functionality to other rooms in the home. Hopper 3 supports up to
six 4K Joeys simultaneously, powering a total of seven 4K TVs at
one time.
“Netflix is leading the industry with one of the largest 4K
libraries available,” said Niraj Desai, DISH vice president of
product management. “Our customers love watching their favorite
Netflix TV shows and movies in Ultra HD on Hopper 3, so we’re
extending the app to our 4K Joey clients to deliver the added
flexibility of a whole-home 4K Netflix experience.”
To access Netflix’s 4K programming, DISH customers should select
the “Home” or “App” button on the remote control, then select the
Netflix icon. The app can also be accessed on channel 370 in the
DISH programming guide. Once in the Netflix app, Ultra HD titles
are identifiable by searching the terms “4K” or “UHD.” With Netflix
integrated into DISH’s universal search results, its 4K titles will
also be populated in episode lists using the DISH remote’s
traditional search functionality.
DISH customers must subscribe to Netflix’s $11.99 per month
subscription plan and have a 4K-compatible television to access
this Ultra HD content on Hopper 3 and 4K Joey. Netflix recommends
an Internet connection speed of at least 25 megabits per second to
stream Ultra HD titles.
