    Does the Dish Anywhere app work over Lightning to HDMI adapter?

    Just got the adapter today. Can confirm it does not work with Dish Anywhere. I pick a live channel (which is what I want) and it gives me an error about it being disconnected from the hopper. Unplug the adapter and it plays fine. I tried casting to my Roku 3 and it almost worked but video...

    Does the Dish Anywhere app work over Lightning to HDMI adapter?

    I have an iPad Air 2 and an iPhone XR and would like to connect to a TV using the lightning HDMI adapter to stream the Polish channels I have. However I read that some apps like Netflix or Hulu won't work. Before I buy the adapter is this also the case with the Anywhere app? I came across a...

    KCRG 9.3 CW - Cedar Rapids - Getting sound on Surround Left and Center only

    Wait how are you getting KCRG 9.2/3 in the first place? Are you using an antenna?

    "Home Media" App removed?

    Had to search to even find out about this. Lame, I used Emby via my Synology NAS and it worked fine.

    Hopper 3 U543 released

    Shame these apps are broken or just not available on the Joeys. Wired joey works fine with Netflix but every month I have to relog in, whereas the wireless joey that I have will break if I even use netflix (black screen needing a reboot everytime I use the app). I had to buy Rokus for both my...

    World Series Game 7 not on guide

    Didn't record it on H3. I watched a few innings live then had to leave so if I figured the timer would record the rest as it has for all the other games. Nope, come home and see only game 6 recorded (and listed as New even though I watched it). So I missed out on a game seven. FS1 will do a...

    Getting commercials at the worst possible time

    Black screen then commercial. Rewind 10 seconds, commercial goes away. These aren't broadcast commercials but Dish's literal own service that is at fault. For me I became really annoyed when Dish started showing those Wells Fargo commercials with that annoying song (the 2 idiots in the hotel...

    MLB playoff on FS1

    Don't care about either team really (White Sox fan here), but both series were entertaining especially on the ALCS side. I liked watching both Astros and Nats play but I suppose I'll root for the AL team. Just hope Dish doesn't inject their stupid targeted ads at the worst time during the series.

    Getting commercials at the worst possible time

    Sorry but that's not correct. These are commercials Dish is injecting in DVR'd content using the service that occasionally shows targeted ads. I rewatched some innings just now and it happened again during a pitch, this time it was a campaign ad for Bernie Sanders. I know its the targeted ads...

    Getting commercials at the worst possible time

    Recording the MLB playoffs and haven't had any real issues (though 1 game was cut short at the start of the 9nth inning even though I set the timer to use the 90 minute extension). However the last 2 games I recorded between Astros/Yankees has been a disaster. Im getting commercial breaks at...

    I HATE Google Assistant

    If Dish cant offer a proper working Youtube/Netflix app then they shouldn't bother advertising it in the first place. So yes, I will blame Dish for promises it cant keep. Its been just over a year since I "upgraded" to a Hopper 3 and its app capabilities suck. Im better off with a Roku/Apple TV...

    I HATE Google Assistant

    The old voice search system was pretty good, now its useless. No way Im using Google (I don't use gmail or any of their services). My Hopper 3 gets more and more useless each month it seems. Dish can't find the time or effort to make Netflix or Youtube actually *work* on their devices, but they...

    Who is not interested in Prime Time Anytime?

    0.0 zero interest in it. I hate Network TV. I only watch local news (and up to weather) and the occasional sports event. Beyond that I avoid network TV as much as possible.

    Netflix constant logouts on wired Joey

    Weird. Netflix on the Hopper 3 itself works just fine but its a mess on the Joey and wireless Joey. Looks like I have to buy more Rokus because the Roku 3 that I moved to the main family room has been a big hit.

    Netflix constant logouts on wired Joey

    Hopper 3+wired joey and wireless joey. Netflix works flawlessly on the Hopper 3. However it is constantly logging out on the wired joey for some reason. I've reset the app but it doesn't help at all. I've had to move a Roku 3 to the room so that family members wouldn't be asking me to login all...

    The OFFICIAL DISH / HBO Thread

    Haven't posted since last Nov when the takedown was only a few weeks old. Gotta say I don't miss HBO/Cinemax at all. I do miss Real Time with Bill Maher, but since then I've just watched youtube rips which are usually uploaded an hour after it airs. Never watched GoT or any HBO specials aside...

    DISH Releases 21 James Bond Flicks in 4K for Holiday Binge-Watching

    I wish Hopper 3 had an option where you can sort films by release date. I created a separate folder for all these Bond films Im recording (never checked out the Connery films. Started with Moore when I was a kid), but I have to consult with Wikipedia to see which film came first chronologically.

    HBO/Cinemax Takedown

    For those Real Time fans, I just finished watching an ep uploaded on YouTube via my Roku 3. Actually there are several uploads so check whichever has the best quality. Im surprised they are still on YouTube 24+ hours after the episode aired. The one I watched seemed slightly less 720p quality...

    HBO/Cinemax Takedown

    Well HBO/ATT can kiss my ass. Even if they do come back Im probably going to cancel my sub. I only watched for Real Time with Bill Maher. I can always wait for the youtube upload (or torrent it, I don't care either way). Their movie selection was irrelevant and I never used their VOD so I doubt...

    Upgrade Advice - 722k to Hopper

    Not sure I follow. My cable modem, router (Apple AirPort Extreme) and Synology NAS are on the bottom level of my house in the utility room because I have the cable coax in there, so its a nice and tidy location. From the router I ran an ethernet cable up to my office to a gigabit switch. The...

    Upgrade Advice - 722k to Hopper

    So I contacted @dish_answers via DM and told them I wanted an upgrade. I started with Dish back in 2004, upgraded to a 722k/2x211ks in 2011. Since I was a loyal customer the deal was a 2 year contract, $100 installation cost plus $25 for a wireless Joey. And I got a $7 reduction in my monthly...

    Upgrade Advice - 722k to Hopper

    My parents are in a similar situation. They have a 722k and 2x211s (non dvr) since 2011. I got them the deal from this forum by talking to a DiRT member. The 722k and 211s are fine, but they are just outdated and its time for a change. They've been customers since 2004. Is DIRT still on here? I...
