During its press conference on Monday, DISH introduced Hopper, its new three-tuner satellite receiver capable of recording six live HD channels at the same time.
The receiver is the basis for DISH’s new PrimeTime Anytime feature that allows playback of any primetime show from ABC, NBC, FOX and CBS up to a week after it is first aired.
DISH also touted Hopper’s Wi-Fi capabilities and seamless Sling integration that will allow customers to view their recordings remotely on mobile devices.
The company cited a Nielsen study that indicates the average person spends 24 hours monthly watching content stored on their DVRs, compared to just 4 hours of watching TV online. More than half the programming stored in DVRs is primetime network shows.
The company is hoping to slice into Hulu’s market and mentioned that its advertising-free, same-day-viewing capabilities give it superiority over the popular streaming site.
