I tried to fix it by using a wired Ethernet connection to my Fire device, instead of the Fire's wifi, but it made no difference--the black screen problem persisted. My router is the Pace 5268AC Gateway that AT&T provided when they installed my fiber-to-home fiber optic.

Thanks, NYDutch

Thanks, guys. I'm glad most of you are having better luck than I am. DA problems on Fire TV have been talked about on the company forum: Go to forum.dish.com. Then click on Dish Anywhere and there's a topic titled "Live TV freezes after 90 seconds on Fire Stick".

Dish Anywhere works great on my iPhone, MacBook Pro and Windows 10 computer, however, on my Fire TV 4K Ultra connected to my LG TV, when I start watching either a live Dish channel or the DVR, it works fine for few minutes, only to suddenly go to a black, silent screen. On another forum...

I didn't mean to imply she actually said the words "Too bad". But that was her drift.

Thanks for the advice, Charles. I'll do that!

Tonight, I used the Dish website chat utility to ask to be upgraded from my current two Hopper with Sling's to two Hopper 3's. The chat representative refused to do it. She said that, because Hopper 3 has 16 tuners, nobody needs two Hopper 3's, and she said she is forbidden to authorize two on...

The guy who trucks my soybeans to ADM moved into his new house, last year. He told me didn't want to wait on the Dish guy to come move his antenna, so he moved it himself, temporarily bolting it to the side of his cattle trailer, which was parked straight east/west. Luckiest guy on earth. He...

I see. Well I'm thinking about what might happen when the dish installer comes with my two new Hopper 3's, and he goes up on the roof to replace the LNB with a hybrid one... If he sees the non-kosher vent pipe mount, and says the dish must be mounted differently, then it's going to take him a...

Good pic, HipKat. Mine is on a sloping roof with asphalt shingles.
