    Dish Anywhere Browser Plugin

    What a disaster trying to install it. I finally got it to take with the Firefox browser. No joy with Chrome or IE. Install, uninstall several times and I'd see the first scene and then get the install message. IE would say it was Direct X and you click Install on the IE bar and end up with the...

    I've had to call twice to get the guide updated. Last week, the guide wasn't downloaded and wouldn't by just rebooting the receiver. Matter of fact, holding the power button in, it just skipped over the downloading guide. When I hit the guide button and got the error message it needed to...

    So Long Speed2.com

    One of the reasons I stayed with Dish the past few years was access to Speed2.com. Well a couple days back, without warning, Fox pulled the plug on it. No warning, just gone. I am not going to be surprised when I go to try and watch an FIA GT race that it will be blocked due to my U.S. IP...

    My Current Dish Want List Spring 2013

    1) They kiss and make up with Disney/ABC/ESPN and get all the HD content back including ESPNU HD, before football season 2) A Roku app for streaming all those videos at Dish Anywhere. The sat box interface is just a pain and I'd imagine many don't have their computers connected to their TV...

    Its not on the DVR menu like on my 622. Dish support on Twitter says it should be there. Anyone else see it on theirs? Oh, and I downloaded Hellboy on my 622, black screen. Dish support is going to put a ticket in to technical support.
