Dish is giving its customers another option for controlling their TVs hands free.

The company's Hopper, Hopper Duo, Joey, and Wally set-top boxes now support Google Assistant. The integration means you can control your TV with just your voice via any Google Assistant-enabled device, including Google Home, Android phones, and iPhones.

Dish first introduced Amazon Alexa support on its set-top boxes last year. The company says it's now the "first major pay-TV provider to offer compatibility with the Google Assistant."

You can ask Assistant to play, pause, fast forward, or rewind content; record something; adjust the volume; or launch apps. You can also use the digital helper to search for content based on channel, title, actor, or genre. Search results will include Dish's live, recorded, and on-demand titles as well as Netflix shows and movies.

Just say, "Ok, Google," followed by a command like "turn on my Hopper," "mute my Hopper," "change the channel to ESPN," "tune to channel 140," "show me Tom Hanks movies," "record Game of Thrones on Hopper," or "rewind 30 seconds."

To set up this feature, you'll first need to download the Google Assistant app on your mobile device. For full setup instructions, head here.

Meanwhile, Google in May said its voice-activated personal assistant works with more than 5,000 smart home devices—everything from cameras and doorbells to lights, security systems, thermostats, AC units, air purifiers, vacuums, refrigerators, ovens, and more. That's up from 1,500 compatible devices in January.

"We want to make it easy and fun for people to turn their living room into a smart entertainment center with the Assistant," Michele Turner, senior director of Google's smart home ecosystem, said in a statement. "By working closely with Dish, we'll ensure that customers can easily control their TVs through the Assistant, instead of searching for or having to share the remote."
