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.

So this is like the Xbox One minus $100?

So this is like the Xbox One minus $100?

Actually, it sounds better than the Xbox One because the rep in the video continues to say that you don't need an addition set-top box to do all of this. Don't you need to have a cable box running the HDMI into the XBox One to take advantage of the UI and all that shyt?

Cable companies ordered to support HD content streaming within homes by 2014
By Aaron Souppourison December 6, 2012 07:23 am

The FCC has ordered cable operators (and TiVo) to update their cable boxes to include support for HD streaming over home networks to devices like PCs, smart TVs, and tablets. In addition to video streaming, cable boxes must also allow HD video recording on external devices through home networks. By June 2nd 2014 the vast majority of set top boxes will have to support an open standard, although cable companies with fewer than 400,000 subscribers have been given an extra three months to implement the changes.

The commission originally ordered cable companies to support network-based streaming back in 2010, but TiVo protested the order saying "if each cable operator deploys set-top boxes with its own understanding of an open industry standard, the result may be an outcome that is neither standard nor open." The FCC has now clarified that an open standard should enable companies to work together without consultation, explaining that video streaming should work even if the cable company and (for example) PC manufacturer have never had any contact with each other.

Both the FCC and Verizon have cited the successor to the DLNA Premium Video Profile, which should be agreed upon at some point next year, as an example of a compliant protocol that cable companies could adopt. In order for the standard to comply, it must support "recordable high-definition video, closed captioning data, service discovery, video transport, and remote control command pass-through."

It'll be down to each company to choose the standard they want to use, but whatever happens, customers should be free to watch (and record) their cable TV content on any household device they choose.

So far DirecTV and Dish Network have announced they will support PlayStation. We'll hear more announcements from other cable providers as the year goes on.

Just like on X360, we can download the app and run it that way. Verizon app on XB1 dropped a week or two ago. But that would be taking a step backwards. What PS4 is getting is a port of what the 360 been doing
In comparison this is ass. You know it is, but I guess if you guys fake and remain clueless on how its done in xboxville.. then this will seem good to you guys
3rd world country trills, only on PS4!!!

I see, thats why only bullshyt Dtv and Dish have signed up. None of the major companies who have been on board the xbox train for years already. I thought TV didn't matter tho

Bruh, you said you had like 50/75mb per second. So you dont have data caps if that is true
