Dish expands Hopper's reach beyond your living room Jan 6th 2014, 23:46, by Philip Michaels LAS VEGAS—Your living room appears to be the next battlefront where companies will fight for your hearts, minds, and eyeballs. And Dish Network is gearing up to capture its share. At CES, the satellite TV company announced a slew of add-ons to its Hopper digital video recorder aimed at letting you watch shows throughout your home, on the go, or using devices made by other manufacturers. If the multichannel universe has made your DVR recording schedule more crowded than the CES showfloor, Dish has you covered there too, with an additional set-top box that expands the Hopper's recording power. It's all part of what Dish CEO Joe Clayton billed as "part three of our Dish transformation" as the company looks to expand its reach beyond your TV set. Rather than view Hopper as a mere set-top box, the company sees its product as the centerpiece you'll connect to with other devices, be it TVs, gaming consoles, or mobile gear when you're looking to be entertained.
