The company made location-shifting as easy as time-shifting via its Sling technology, which allowed viewers to stream content from their home set-top boxes via the Internet to remote PCs and mobile devices. The option to catch up on favorite shows remotely means TV junkies need not stress out during business trips and can truly relax on vacation.
Dish's Hopper let users transfer recordings to a mobile device, which has allowed for offline viewing of content -- something road warriors and other frequent travelers can appreciate.
Now the company has introduced yet another option for taking recorded content just about anywhere: the Dish HopperGO, a compact DVR hard disk drive that allows users to transfer content from a Dish Hopper 2 or Hopper 3 set-top box to the portable unit.
Available now for US$99, the 64-GB, rechargeable-battery-powered gizmo let users bring along up to 100 hours of recorded TV shows and movies.
