Dish Is Shipping $30 Voice Remote for Set-Top DVRs

Dish Network began selling a $30 voice remote control for its Hopper 3 and 4K Joey set-top boxes Thursday. The Voice Remote can be a universal remote for two infrared devices, said the company. Users can control navigation, search and content selection via voice commands, said Dish. The remote is half the size of a traditional remote and has a clickable touchpad and backlighting, it said.
