A DISH Full of Tech Delights


Priorities about technology were top of mind for the homeowner of a 22-acre Upstate New York estate with a 25,000-square-foot main property at its heart. A tech executive in his own right with a 20-year history of experience with DISH Network products and services, he has used the integration skills of Nanuet, N.Y.-based Audio Video World in several homes – and always with a mandate to include cutting-edge, cost-no-object connected-home features.

For this project, the homeowner tasked Ronnie Dedios, lead technician at Audio Video World, with incorporating the latest and greatest from DISH. This meant installing a total of six DISH Hopper 3s as the entertainment hubs. Each Hopper 3 has two terabytes (or 500 hours) of DVR recording capability, and each is endowed with 16 tuners that can funnel up to four HD channels simultaneously to a 4K TV. Hopper 3 also provides the viewer with a wealth of programming choices including live TV programming from 270 international channels in 28 languages. And it lends itself to IP control.

“He didn’t want to deal with any other company from Day One than DISH,” explained Dedios, “not only because they have a really good choice of international shows but also because of the quality of the picture – it was the whole nine yards.”

To support the homeowner’s desire for both robust programming access as well as stem-to-stern home automation at every touchpoint, including handling the auto-illumination for the property’s heliport, Audio Video World selected Crestron lighting, security and control platforms throughout. These included the Crestron DigitalMedia DM NVX control and video distribution platform – scalable, flexible, and tailor-made for integration with the DISH Hopper 3s and well beyond. The integrator also wired the entire property with fiber optic cable for its superior delivery speed and its future-readiness for technologies yet to come.

One other reason for selecting Crestron NVX was that, despite its sophistication under the hood, it offers simplified control interfaces for the owner, his wife and his 84-year-old mother. Everything is at their fingertips – or is seamlessly automated for them.
