Dish became the first U.S. pay TV provider to integrate with Alexa for hands-free TV back in May, when it introduced a way for Hopper and Wally DVR users to search for programs and control their playback experience using their voice. Today, the company says it’s expanding this support to its Joey clients, meaning Dish customers can now take advantage of voice control throughout their home.

The Joey clients are Dish’s add-on receivers that allow you to extend Dish’s TV service to other rooms in your home without the need for a separate DVR. The current Hopper 3 DVR supports up to six Joey receivers, while older generations support up to three, Dish notes.
