It's coming ....................too late for many of us who already got Rokus or Firesticks. Now if they had come out with this two years ago ,they might of kept some of their subs from churning. I know I left the winter of 2021.

Yep, all the new functions this offers, I have been able to do for years with my Roku(s) and Shield.It's coming ....................too late for many of us who already got Rokus or Firesticks. Now if they had come out with this two years ago ,they might of kept some of their subs from churning. I know I left the winter of 2021.
Start offering your channels via a app on these devices for all the TVs that do not get much use in your home, that will help retain and get Customers when they no longer have to pay the extra box fees.
Also help the bottom line, make the installation a lot cheaper when then only have to do one run to a TV, tell the customer to either get a Roku/Android Box from Dish or elsewhere for the other TVs.
They looked into this before and there were a number of issues.
1) Contracts with Broadcasters only allow one Sling Stream at a time.
2) Streaming anywhere, including inside your house is not always reliable. You could be watching TV on a DISH Anywhere connection in your house and then you kid starts downloading a big file... your picture can freeze get pixelated etc... they want you to have the same experience everytime.
This is why the Sling Television (remember that) was never released and it is why their Wireless Joey boxes only work with the DISH Wireless access point as DISH so other things on your network don't keep you from watching or enjoying your tv viewing.
There are more moving parts behind the scenes that people dont know or think about and when the "why dosen't dish do..." comments come up they are normally reasons why.
Now I am not just saying this to say it, but I have tested enough things over the past 20 years from DISH and there is a lot of stuff I used which never made it to market... and for a good reason too.
I think you just let out some new information. Clearly Dish can stream to multiple Joey's via MoCA. Why touch Sling encoding at all with this new AndroidTV box?
I believe it is different then the Slingbox technology which goes out over the internet.

Then redo the contracts or when they are up.
Again this is something Comcast, Charter along with YTTV and Hulu Live already provide.
While true, this is why I wrote in the rooms that do not get much use, I can see the Hopper 3 on the main TV, which would not be affected by what you wrote.
Also, would not the wireless Joeys and the Hooper Plus have the same problem as what you wrote, yet Dish has no problem leasing them.
If they ever want to attract a customer like me ( and others I assume), this is what they need to do, make it more customer friendly regarding these fees.
I have written before, I have 11 rooms with TVs, I use one Full Time, one other only when I am on the Life Cycle outside in the morning watching the news.
The other rooms, never, the only time some were in use is when we moved to Florida and our kids came with us ( they both have their own homes know).
This Thanksgiving and XMAS, I will have a full house, YTTV allows me to add unlimited streams and to go back down to 3 after they leave, total cost will be about $20 extra (total) for that time period.
If I had all those boxes from Dish, extra, at least, $50 a month.
If Dish offer their channels via a streaming app at no charge ( plus one Hopper 3 for the main area) I guarantee I would be a subscriber, because I would have a service not dependent on the internet, I live in Hurricane Land now, so if Charter goes out for a extended period, I would still have TV.
Bruce sounds like one wireless joey 4 will do you well.
I take mine all over the place even outside.

What do I do for the other rooms?Bruce sounds like one wireless joey 4 will do you well.

Move it around since your not using it in other rooms. Or get more than one Wireless Joey.

I have about 25 family members coming, I will let them fight it out for it.
The few kids coming, they will be happy with the PS5 and XBOX X.
And then back to the monthly costs I am trying to avoid.
Or at least, the costs of buying all those Joeys.
All the TVs I have, they are all Roku TVs in the extra rooms, so nothing to buy.
Well then sounds like you are all set. Don't need to sell you something you don't need then right?
Does the new WJ have stronger signal than the present model?Bruce sounds like one wireless joey 4 will do you well.

You also posted a picture of a Roku and said it was Android.Huh...Android Tv .. I told the naysayers I would be right in the end.
Because that's all I was willing to post or thought I could,there where people saying they where sure these boxes where not android. Also read the input markings.
