Features
Voice Commands Take the guesswork out of navigating your Hopper system by using voice commands to find your programming, tune to channels, launch Netflix, and more! Since the Google Assistant is built into your receiver, you can also use voice commands to find a recipe, get information on an actor, find weather and traffic in your area, manage your appointments, and get answers on pretty much anything else you want to know about. Voice functionality requires an active internet connection.
