We're Combining Our Businesses Into One
As we grow, we're combining both company's as well as their respective websites.
Down To Earth Satellite has been located in the same office building since we started back in 1985. In 2017 we remodeled and moved to an office adjacent to our original office. We have a much larger and modern office facility that allows us to better serve our customers.
Drop by and visit with us. Let us show you the Hopper system by Dish. Or bring your laptop and try Viasat Internet out for yourself. See why it's the fastest growing Internet service serving the rural residents and businesses.
See how easy it is for you to get Dish, DirecTV or Viasat installed at your home or office. Check out the current promotional offers. See what it would cost to switch providers or upgrade your current service. We're not high pressure sales. We will listen to your needs and provide you with honest suggestions to provide you with the best possible solutions for your needs.
Our mission is to listen to our client's specific needs and deliver high performance products through continuous product innovation and operational excellence. We carry complete product lines from Dish, DirecTV, AT&T Wireless, Viasat, KVH, SiriusXM Commercial and Vivint Smart Home
Introducing the HOPPER 3™ More Capabilities, Fewer Conflicts
Additional Information
More Tuners, More TV, Less Conflict
The biggest update is the 16-tuner capability of the HOPPER 3™. Watch and record up to 16 movies, sitcoms, games and more at the same time. No more competing with members of your household over conflicting time slots — the power of 16 has you covered.
In addition to increased tuners, you now have the ability to watch and customize six channels at once with the Mosaic feature. With Joey technology, one HOPPER 3™ can support up to seven TVs.
Interface Facelift
Expert and user reviews about DVR interfaces have been critical across the board. The HOPPER 3™’s user interface has been redesigned based on consumer feedback, and as a result the experience is more intuitive. Beyond improved navigation and layout, predictive search is now available across channels and apps. Users can also search for specific topics such as “Oscar-winning movies” or “movies with Denzel Washington.”
In addition, the HOPPER’s processor has been updated, making this HOPPER seven times faster than its predecessor — which means easier searching, channel-flipping and recording. Other bonuses include parental controls, adjustable text and a binge watching-friendly layout.
Have It Your Way With 4K
Entire articles have been written to discuss the pros and cons of 4K TV and how to find 4K content. Opinions aside, 4K TV market penetration is expected to increase about 10 percent in 2016 to reach 23 percent, according to estimates by WitsView. Whether you’re on the 4K bandwagon or not, it’s good to know the HOPPER 3™ is 4K capable.
4K TV owners can watch, record and store their favorite content in 4K to the 2-TB Hopper hard drive. Previous Hoppers enabled users to create an at-home sports bar effect, but now that effect is enhanced with the ability to watch up to six sports channels in 4K. For those with whole-home entertainment needs, the 4K Joey is here. The Bluetooth-enabled 4K Joey is the slimmest Joey to date and is fully functional with non-4K TVs.
Say Hello to the New Remote
New features are great, but without an effective way to navigate and access them, they’re also irrelevant. Enter the new Hopper remote. The Hopper Voice Remote has a simplified design with an illuminated touchpad that serves as the main control engine. And as the name implies, this remote features advanced voice recognition, which you access via a side-mounted button.
Other user-friendly components include button backlights and dual control of your TV and AUX input (or more with infrared learning). Capabilities from previous Hopper remotes return, such as the ‘locate remote’ feature and one-button access to on-screen help and tips. Previous Hopper remotes are supported with the HOPPER 3™.
