DISH Grows Partners in Custom Install Program

dish-cedia-1015At CEDIA this week, DISH announced integration with Key Digital and Logitech, as well as partnerships with Middle Atlantic Products and D-Tools.

Key Digital adds DISH to Compass Alliance Partner program: Key Digital has added DISH to its Compass Alliance Partner program with the development of a two-way driver for the Hopper. The two-way driver delivers real-time program and guide metadata from the Hopper to mobile devices, giving clients a more robust control experience over their DVR. Key Digital customers can now use mobile devices to access and control the Hopper programming guide, TV show and movie information, and recorded content in addition to general remote control functions.

Logitech integrates Hopper into Harmony ecosystem: DISH’s Hopper now connects with Logitech Harmony hub-based remotes for home entertainment and home control using direct IP integration. This new development speeds installation by using auto-discovery tools to quickly identify Hopper and Joey receivers within a customer’s home network. Once discovered, the receivers can be easily added to a Harmony remote control. Additionally, this integration lets Harmony installers configure a superior, more reliable entertainment solution for their customers.

Middle Atlantic Products creates custom rack shelves for Hopper platform: A complete set of custom rack shelves for DISH’s suite of Hopper products are now available to purchase from Middle Atlantic Products. These units provide clean aesthetics and the necessary air flow management for DISH’s Hopper, Super Joey, Joey and the upcoming 4K Joeytm products. Hopper and Super Joey shelves are sold in single 2U configurations, with Joey and 4K Joey shelves available in single or double side-by-side 1U configurations.
