    Dish Anywhere/ replace Joey?

    One thing I forgot to mention...before turning off the TV, I always exit out of the Dish Anywhere app and go back to the Firestick main screen, just to make sure it stops streaming. I read somewhere that you should always do that with Youtube so I figured it made sense to just get into the habit...

    Dish Anywhere/ replace Joey?

    Sorry for the delay in replying. Everyone got used to App and I think the picture is as good if not actually better than the wireless Joey. We got the 4K Firesticks like you ordered. Once in the guide, its pretty easy to enter numbers by using the << and = keys so you can skip around. As...

    Dish Anywhere/ replace Joey?

    I got rid of 2 wireless Joey's a while ago and replaced them with Dish Anywhere on Firesticks in our kitchen and bedroom. Dish Anywhere works great. Only "issue" is you have to re-validate your credentials every now and then so I keep a bookmark on my ipad to quickly do that. Other than that...

    Is Dish offering free Hoppe 3 upgrades

    When I renewed my 2 year agreement last month, they gave me a free upgrade from a Hopper to Hopper 3 at no charge. I dealt with Dish Retentions directly.

    Dish app on ios6.

    Try changing the Dish stream on your Ipad to SQ. I've been having a problem with IO6 too - I finally got the app to work OK in SQ mode. I think Dish is going to have to tweak the app.

    Current TV to be available starting the 20th for $5 per month a la carte

    I'm glad they're going to offer this - I like Current TV and will gladly pay to add it.

    Dish adds Glenn Beck's The Blaze to its Top 250 Package

    It's not exactly equal time. I want to watch Current TV but I only have the Welcome Pack. Why won't Dish let me order that Channel A la Carte for $5?

    Dear Friends... (A Note about the Sling Adapter Promotion)

    I ordered mine on the phone yesterday with a US based CSR. While on the phone I checked online and saw that he had processed 2 orders - one for $99 and one at no charge. When I told him I saw two orders, he told me not to worry that the second one would be cancelled. Of course this morning, I...

    Starz and HD Plat trial is over and then all HD disappeared

    Happened to me too...and the Dish Tech Support had no idea as to why all my HD, including all my locals, disappeared or how to fix it. I finally figured out myself to unplug the DVR. The only way I figured out it had anything to do with the Platinum expiring was from your post. Would be nice if...

    Dish Remote Access for iPad updated today 11/30/2010

    I think when I logged into my Account at Dishonline, there was a drop down menu to add the Slingbox and then it either asked for the finder or My Sling Password. To be honest with you - I was so frustrated at that point, I stopped paying attention, but all of a sudden it worked. I don't...

    Dish Remote Access for iPad updated today 11/30/2010

    I think I had to enter my Sling finder number in order to pair the Slingbox to the DVR...it was a lot of trial and error but all of a sudden when I went into My Account at Dishonline, there was a place to set it up and it finally worked

    Dish Remote Access for iPad updated today 11/30/2010

    It does work (great) with a Slingbox Solo connected to a 722. I don't understand why Sling and Dish don't explain how to do this. You have to log onto your Dishonline Account from your computer, click My Account and then pair your Slingbox to your DVR. Took me forever to figure this out but...

    Android Free Remote Access App on a 722

    I'm even more confused. I just got a 722K yesterday and hooked my Slingbox solo up to it with the component cables. I can control the DVR and change channels with the Android App but if I try the Android Remote Access app to watch on my phone, it just hangs at "connecting" to the sat box. Did...

    3 Months free Starz & HD Platinum

    After reading what y'all said, I called back about an hour later and was told "sure, you can have Platinum HD for 3 months, no problem". I was also told that it would automatically drop off the account after 3 months and the only requirement was to stay on paperless billing/auto payment. Thanks...

    wasn't welcome and family discontinued????

    I just switched this week from Welcome Pack to Top 200 and was told emphatically that I could switch back to Welcome Pack at anytime - no problem. I hope that's true 2 years from now.
