Must be leftover from the Hopper Plus install, there is no native support for Android without the add-on hardware.

Charlie really is playing with fire here, who knows the guy is 72 maybe he's ready to just ride off into the sunset and enjoy retirement. What's the point of amassing so much wealth if you don't get to enjoy it?

All electronics were a lot more expensive back then. Try pricing a replacement remote in 1986!

I still don't get the obsession with keeping this bottom of the line STB from 10-15 years ago.

They should, I would consider them traditional pay TV just with a different method of delivering the content to your TV.

Exactly, the Dish customers that want to buy and own their own equipment are few and the CSRs just aren't familiar with the process.

It really doesn't make financial sense to buy and install your own Hopper. Not only do you have to buy the Hopper, the Joeys, LNB, the node - you're talking $500-$600 which is more than the ETF, plus you still have the exorbitant DVR fee. Wally is plug and play, use your same LNB and wiring...

He's not looking for help, just looking to complain.

Teat lol

I did. You're using outdated equipment that is on the verge of being obsolete and it's time to upgrade. You can buy a Wally for $59, own it and install it just as you always have been doing. As with all technology, support ends and newer, updated options become available.

Why wouldn't you want to upgrade to a Wally? It's a much better overall experience.

Back in the day, both Dish and DirecTV got the customer lists from companies selling equipment used to hack their services and went after them. They sent demand letters for thousands of dollars and sued if they didn't pay up.

The boxes with the malware aren't Google approved and don't have the Play Store. Your Shield is just fine.
