The feature-rich Hopper entertainment platform is the perfect addition to RTIs powerful home automation system, said Frank DeFilippis, DISH manager of channel programs. This integration will allow RTI dealers to deploy reliable control of our award-winning entertainment technology, including our upcoming 4K Joey, while delivering a great customer experience.
