So I received the update to the new version of Android on my phone (Nexus 5) the other day, and just last night I tried to use the Dish Anywhere app for the first time. It seems to just show the opening splash screen, then flash a couple times before eventually just closing. I then tried...

Thanks for the heads up on what deal you were able to get. I'll probably end up giving them a call soon. I tried to talk my way out of needing the protection plan, but they wouldn't go for it (in chat). Hopefully I'll have better luck on the phone.

Ah, gotcha. This was actually the second chat I did with Dish - earlier I was at one point transferred to someone in the Loyalty department and thought they were offering a HWS - looking over the conversation now, it does appear he included a Joey also: I eventually got him to... I...

Okay, I chatted with Dish online and I'm thoroughly confused now, lol. Is it possible to get a HWS with no Joey? I've currently got a 722k being used with a single TV and I want to replace it with just a HWS (no joey needed). I figured I could get just a Hopper, but the guy in the chat...

Thanks, I re-posted there now.

I've currently got a 722k w/ sling adapter. I'd like to upgrade to the hopper (and keep the sling functionality if possible). What are my options here? I'm out of contract btw. Thanks.

Hey guys, Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I've been with Dish for 4 years I think, and been fairly happy. I've currently only got a 722k + sling adapter. I was wondering what my options are for switching to the Hopper (plus keeping the sling capability if possible). I'm...

You have personal info in that attatchment that you need to hide (full name, phone #, last 4 of soc). That's probably enough to steal your identity.

FYI - A friend of mine has 1.5mb DSL and can stream netflix without issue. He doesn't get the top quality, but it still streams fine. He's got a ROKU, and uses it all the time.

Black out rules really are awful. Being in the middle of Iowa, it's at least a 4 hour drive to get near any MLB game (Twins). Takes me ~6 hours to drive to Chicago and watch the Cubs (the team I'd like to watch). Preventing me from watching them on TV doesn't make me any more likely to go to...

Kind of a misnomer....new subscribers can't subscribe to the Welcome Pack

FYI, I think a 211k is $7/mo. I just got rid of mine (never used it). I'm debating running a long HDMI cable from my 722k to the basement TV as a replacement to the 211k. I'd also have to get an RF remote I suppose.

Figured I'd update the thread - I ended up switching from AT200 to AT120 (I'm only losing 2 timers in this switch). Also, I dropped platinum and Dish is sending me a box to return my 211K. This is cutting my bill (before taxes) from $82.99 to $50.99 ($32/mo savings).

I originally ordered service through the Dish Network website - not sure if that makes a difference.

My current package is: AT200, HD free for life, and platinum. Hardware: 722K, 211K My contract is up in January, but I'd like to try and save some money. I'm thinking of getting rid of the 211K to save $7/mo and dropping down to AT120 to save another $15/mo. In addition to this, I may also...
