    Is it possible to use Dish Anywhere with a Chromecast?

    Thanks Jason, yes please do ask for Chromecast support to be added as a new feature. This would be a technology coup for Dish over the other guys. I also believe a lot of folks would use it and it would be a popular feature.

    Dish no longer taking AMEX?

    The original poster seems to be correct. I went to change my account from an old AMEX card to a new AMEX card, and the AMEX choice is not available. Visa, MC plus some others I'm not familiar with. I guess they will take AMEX if that's what you're currently setup for, but if you want to...
