Dish Network app turns your PS3 or PS4 into a virtual set-top box

Virtual Joey app pledges to provide a "nearly identical" experience to the hardware-based version.

by Eddie Makuch on January 6, 2014

Today at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show, Dish Network announced that it will launch a new application on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 this spring that will allow owners to use those systems as virtual Dish set-box boxes.

Of course, you'll need a Dish Hopper subscription to make use of the service.

The "Virtual Joey" app pledges to provide a "nearly identical" experience to the Hopper Whole-Home HD DVR's hardware-based Joey, which allows users to watch live TV and recorded programs.

The software-based Virtual Joey clients will operate on PlayStation users' wireless or wired networks. Once installed, customers can operate the Virtual Joey on PS3 or PS4 using a Dish remote or DualShock controller.

If you're attending the 2014 CES this week, you can check out a demo of the Virtual Joey app at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Central Hall at booth #8243.

1 thing that had me :what: , about Sony's CES press conference is the fact that Sony is releasing a NEW 4K media player for 2014. The PS4 costs $300 less than Sony's current 4K media player. Shouldn't Sony Electronics, Sony Entertainment, & SEN get behind the the PS4 & promote it as Sony's 4K media player?
They want to sell stand-alone players for the people that just want that device just like their DVD and Blu-Ray players.

Didn't watch any of the videos, but what's so great about having a curved screen? :patrice:

The most iconic wireless router of all time (Linksys WRT54G) is back and it cost $299

That's about $100 more than I paid for my Asus RT-AC66U. Too rich for my blood at $300.
