Dish 54.0 Remote Control for The Hopper - Voice Backlit

The Dish 54.0 Remote Control for The Hopper is a voice-enabled, backlit remote designed to simplify navigation of your Hopper ecosystem with wireless range and programmable shortcuts.

Replace juggling multiple remotes with one compact controller built for the Hopper family of receivers, including Joey and Wally. This Dish remote combines Google voice search with a backlit keypad, locator function and customizable hot keys so you can find shows, launch apps and control accessibility features faster. Its streamlined black housing and familiar button layout make it easy to adopt, whether you're switching from another remote or pairing it with a new setup.

How do I use voice search to find shows and menu items?

Speak into the remote’s microphone to search live channels, recordings and On Demand libraries without typing. Voice commands go through your connected Hopper system, so full search requires an internet-connected receiver. Voice control speeds up navigation especially when you’re looking for titles, actors, or specific channels.

• Say show names, actor names, or categories (e.g., "comedies") to pull up results.
• Internet connection on the Hopper is needed for cloud-backed search results.
• Works with live guide, recorded programs, and On Demand catalogs.

What convenience features help when the room is dark or the remote is misplaced?

The remote includes automatic backlit keys that illuminate when picked up, making late-night navigation effortless. If the remote gets lost, the Hopper can trigger a beep and blink on the remote so you can locate it quickly. These practical touches reduce interruptions and make the remote easier to use for everyone in the household.

• Backlit keypad activates when motion or pickup is detected.
• Remote Locator: press a button on the DVR to make the remote beep and blink.
• Compact size fits on armrests and in couch cushions for unobtrusive storage.
