“The average US home has about two TVs connected to a pay-TV service,” said Niraj Desai vice DISH vice president of product management. “Hopper Duo is a feature-rich, high-value product for households that want DVR capacity for only one or two screens.”

The Wi-Fi-capable Hopper Duo includes the modern Hopper user interface with HD graphics and easy content discovery; a 500 GB hard drive for up to 125 hours of HD DVR recording; compatibility with Amazon Alexa voice control; universal search; Bluetooth audio support via adapter; Picture-in-Picture viewing; Remote Finder; and apps like Game Finder, Pandora and DISH On-Demand, with Netflix coming soon. Hopper Duo ships with DISH’s new voice remote.

Hopper Duo supports a second HDTV when paired with a Joey (Joey, 4K Joey or Wireless Joey). With two tuners, Hopper Duo customers can watch or record two live programs simultaneously. If a customer is recording two live shows, they can still watch previously recorded titles from their DVR or anything from the OnDemand catalog.

Beginning today, qualified new and existing customers can receive a Hopper Duo at no upfront cost. The Hopper Duo system requires a whole-home DVR fee of $10 per month, with an additional $7 per month required for an added Joey.

*Note: The average number of pay-TV set-top boxes per household in the United States is 1.7, according to a recent study by Leichtman Research Group.

Hennessy, the world’s best-selling Cognac, presents six-time championship boxer and philanthropist Miguel Cotto with the 14th annual Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège Award following the last match of his accomplished boxing career. The private dinner celebration took place at Hunt & Fish Club in New York City. Manny Gonzalez, Senior Director, Multicultural Marketing, Moët Hennessy presented Cotto with the award along with a donation to support the boxer’s ongoing community efforts.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Hennessy, the world’s best-selling Cognac, honored six-time championship boxer and philanthropist Miguel Cotto, as the recipient of the 14^th annual V.S.O.P Privilège Award. The Privilège Award recognizes Cotto’s mastery in the boxing ring, which has spanned more than 15 years – as well as his contributions and dedication to empowering the Latino community and his home of Puerto Rico.

Now in its 14^th year, the Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège Award is bestowed to individuals who are not only masters at their craft, but have achieved unparalleled levels of accomplishment and use that success to inspire and give back to their community through leadership, service and mentorship.

Cotto, who recently retired after one of the most storied careers in modern boxing, began his professional fighting in 2001 and has since risen above every obstacle, injury and adversary to leave an indelible mark on the sport – with a 41-6-0 record and winning championship belts in four weight classes. In addition to his showmanship in the ring – Cotto has shown just as much passion outside of the ring, empowering Latinos through his Fundacion El Angel de Miguel Cotto charity – where most recently he’s spent his efforts in helping the Hurricane Maria recovery across the island of his home of Puerto Rico.

“It is a true honor to be presented with the Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège Award,” said Cotto. “Like Hennessy, I am dedicated to empowering future generations, and being recognized for these efforts is both humbling and inspiring.”

During the evening, Hennessy also announced its donation, on behalf of Miguel Cotto, to the Hispanic Federation to help support his continued efforts to rebuild and bring relief to Puerto Rico, and to the Fundacion El Angel de Miguel Cotto to support the boxer’s ongoing community efforts.

About Hennessy
In 2018, the Maison Hennessy celebrates over two and half centuries of an exceptional adventure that has linked two families, the Hennessys and the Fillioux, for eight generations and spanned five continents. It began in the French region of Cognac, the seat from which the Maison has constantly passed down the best the land has to give, from one generation to the next. In particular, such longevity is thanks to those people, past and present, who have ensured Hennessy’s success both locally and around the world. Hennessy’s success and longevity are also the result of the values the Maison has upheld since its creation: unique savoir-faire, a constant quest for innovation, and an unwavering commitment to Creation, Excellence, Legacy, and Sustainable Development. Today, these qualities are the hallmark of a House – a crown jewel in the LVMH Group – that crafts iconic and prestigious Cognacs.

Hennessy is imported and distributed in the U.S. by Moët Hennessy USA. Hennessy distills, ages and blends spanning a full range: Hennessy V.S, Hennessy Black, V.S.O.P Privilège, X.O, Paradis, Paradis Impérial and Richard Hennessy.

MoneyGram Leads Global Consumer Protection Efforts in Money Transfer Industry

January 18, 2018

0

DALLAS, Jan. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — MoneyGram (NASDAQ: MGI) announced today the launch of new global customer verification standards for all sends and receives. Among other requirements, customers will now need to provide identification before transacting with MoneyGram for any amount of money. With this initiative, MoneyGram is providing its customers with the highest standards of protection – above and beyond what is currently required by law and without comparison in the money transfer industry.

“To better protect our consumers and the integrity of our money transfer network, we are enhancing our policies and standardizing data requirements on every transaction globally,” said Alex Holmes, Chief Executive Officer of MoneyGram. “The simple fact is that global risk is on the rise and over the past several years we have invested hundreds of millions of dollars into enhancing our compliance programs. To be as effective as possible, compliance programs require more information about their customers than many global regulatory standards currently require. MoneyGram has chosen to be a leader in consumer protection by being first-to-market with customer identification required at $1.”

As part of the improved security measures, in addition to ID, consumers will now also be required to provide their name, address, phone number and date of birth for every transaction, with additional data collection requirements for higher transaction amounts. Obtaining this information will allow the company to provide a stronger level of security and protection against AML and fraud risk for its customers.

The new initiative launched in January in the U.S. and the global roll-out is expected to be completed in early 2018. Customer identification at $1 is another example of MoneyGram’s commitment to enhancing its world-class compliance platform to strengthen the integrity of its service, reduce fraud and AML risk and enhance the security of its customers transactions.

About MoneyGram
MoneyGram is a global provider of innovative money transfer and payment services and is recognized worldwide as a financial connection to friends and family.
