technology to stream music on TV audio systems and speakers
throughout the home

services, including Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Pandora and

- Now available on Hopper 2, Hopper 3 and
connected Joey clients at no additional cost
DISH today launched DISH Music, a mobile app powered by DTS
Play-Fi technology that gives customers the ability to sync music
throughout their home using one central control. This new feature
uses TV audio systems connected to Hopper 2 or Hopper 3 DVRs, as
well as DTS Play-Fi-enabled speakers, to play music from personal
libraries on mobile devices and popular streaming services, like
Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Pandora and TIDAL.
“It can be both difficult and expensive to achieve synchronized
and high-quality whole-home audio,” said Niraj Desai, DISH vice
president of product management. “DISH Music is a great whole-home
sound solution designed to meet the needs of our customers, as it
works with existing audio equipment and is available at no
additional cost.”
DISH Music turns DISH’s Hopper DVRs and connected Joeys into
music streaming zones controllable from Android or iOS smartphones
and tablets. Using the app, customers can choose to sync the same
music across rooms, or play different content in each zone.
Televisions will display the metadata for the music being played,
such as the artists, song name and music service.
Additionally, DISH Music can wirelessly pair with DTS
Play-Fi-enabled speakers connected to the same wireless network.
DTS Play-Fi boasts the largest ecosystem of whole-home wireless
partners, including Aerix, Anthem, Arcam, Definitive Technology,
Klipsch, MartinLogan, McIntosh, Paradigm, Phorus, Polk Audio,
Rotel, Sonus Faber, Thiel Audio and Wren, with products from Elite,
Integra, Pioneer, Onkyo, Soundcast, SVS Sound and more
forthcoming.
Music services available with DISH Music currently include
Amazon Music, Deezer, iHeartRadio, Napster, Pandora, SiriusXM and
TIDAL. Users must have accounts to access content from these
services, when required. DISH Music will also play from personal
libraries on mobile devices and is compatible with DLNA media
servers.
The DISH Music app is available for download today in the Apple
App Store, Google Play Store and Amazon app marketplace.
