At the 2016 International CES, DISH Network L.L.C. unveiled
plans to integrate Netflix titles into search results on the
award-winning Hopper DVR. Available on the upcoming Hopper 3, the
universal search functionality will work across DISH’s live,
recorded and on-demand content as well as Netflix’s selection of TV
shows and movies. DISH will be the first major U.S. pay-TV provider
to integrate Netflix into universal search.

As part of the universal search results, Netflix titles will be
populated in DISH’s episode lists to better enable customers to
discover current and past seasons of TV shows.
“These integrated lists will showcase a more complete content
archive for our customers, ultimately making it easier for them to
binge watch across multiple entertainment subscriptions,” said
Vivek Khemka, DISH Executive Vice President and Chief Technology
Officer. “In many instances, DISH and Netflix deliver to our
customers a wide variety of complementary programming when you
consider the availability of a TV series by season. Netflix’s
selection of past seasons will now be populated alongside a series’
most current episodes that DISH offers live and on-demand.”
In December 2014, DISH became the first major pay-TV provider in
the U.S. to include the Netflix app in its Hopper set-top boxes.
The app was later expanded to Joey clients, creating a whole-home
Netflix experience for DISH customers, without the need to switch
inputs or devices.
Universal search featuring Netflix titles will launch on DISH’s
upcoming Hopper 3 and connected Joey clients, and, later this year,
will additionally roll out to Hopper 2 DVRs.
DISH customers who are new to Netflix can create an account in
the app or by visiting www.netflix.com/dish.
