Sorry for the long post but I want to give as much information as I can.

I have two Hoppers with Sling and am having issues with one and Dish Anywhere. HWS 1 is connected by cable to my router and HWS 2 is connected via MoCA. Both units are showing a connection speed of 28.385 Mbps and have no problems with Netflix. However, when accessing Dish Anywhere only HWS 2 is seen as a sling device (and it works just as it should). I have tried it using IE 11, Edge, Chrome and Firefox on a Win 10 box at work, IE 10 and Chrome on a Win 7 laptop at home, Safari, Chrome, and Firefox on a iMac (El Capitan) at work, a MacBook Pro (El Capitan), and Mac Mini (Yosemite) at home, Dish Anywhere App (6.5.38) on a iPhone 6 and Dish Anywhere app (6.20.37) on a iPad Air. Regardless of the device or method of access, the result is the same. HWS 2 shows "name" Receiver ID, Software Version, and as a Sling Device. HWS 1 only shows the Dish assigned number and Receiver ID.

I spoke with 4 different Dish techs yesterday. The first could not help as I was not in front of the unit (this I understand), the second passed me off to the "network" unit (again, I understand). The "network" tech told me it was a browser issue as Netflix would not work if it were a hardware issue and that she would escalate it and I "should" hear something in 48 to 72 hours. As the issue was in multiple browsers on multiple platforms and in the Dish Anywhere app, I did not accept her answer so I called back asking for a supervisor. After another half hour repeating my information and re-trying all the troubleshooting steps, she said it was a known issue with no known fix but could not explain what is issue is.

So, is there a issue with Dish Anywhere that would cause these symptoms or do I have a hardware issue they will not acknowledge?

Thanks,
Steve

I have the same problem, Only 1 of my 2 HWSs shows up in DishAnywhere on my iPhones and iPads.

HWS#1 directly connected to router doesn't appear while HWS#2 which is connected to the internet through HWS#1 does.

Very strange.
GreeneDish
That is strange, in both cases it is the directly connect unit that is not showing up. At least it appears that it is something on Dish's end and not a hardware issue. Now we just need to hear if there is any "fix" in the works.
navychop
I had the same problem.

After over an hour on the phone with Dish, the only fix was to connect both HWS via Ethernet, with one with bridging on.

The only way to pick which HWS is now thru Settings, receiver. "Select TV" no longer works.

I don't think they see it as a bug and I have little hope they will fix it.

I'd like to fiddle around with it and see if some other combination works, but don't have the time.

Try this "fix" and post results.
GreeneDish
While I appreciate the "fix" suggestion, it is not an option in my case as it would require running about 200 feet of Cat-6 cable three stories down through sealed walls and across to the other side of the house through a sealed ceiling. While I could buy a set of POE adapters, I do not think I should have to spend my money to fix something that worked as advertised until about a week ago. If Dish changed something to "break" this then they should apply a patch to fix it. Has anyone seen this issue with a Hopper 3? Perhaps I need to upgrade my hardware to regain my capabilities.
GreeneDish
Please disregard my upgrade inquiry. From reading other posts it seems like I can't have two H3's or one H3 and one HWS. I guess I will just have to live with the issue. Fortunately it is not a show stopper just an inconvenience.

Washington Post

SpaceX has held talks with Boost's parent company EchoStar in recent months about launching its own signature wireless service through a deal with the company, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.
Musk, the SpaceX CEO, has discussed the deal personally, meeting with EchoStar chairman Charlie Ergen last month, according to the people. The potential deal may result in SpaceX acquiring Boost Mobile or SpaceX gaining access to its network, which it leases from AT&T and T-Mobile US, the people said.
Access to those lease agreements would be a coup for SpaceX. The back door would allow Musk to make a play for a U.S. wireless market that equity research firm MoffettNathanson estimates is worth $235 billion. But the proposed service may need consent from those carriers for the service to actually launch, the people said.

Can't remember where or who I saw predict this. :D

It wouldn't surprise me to see Elon soon own all of DISH / Echostar in the future.

Again, why would Musk want a TV Service, specially one that is losing over a million subscribers a year.

Phone service…maybe, but not TV.

I know he wants TV. He wants to deliver EVERYTHING to EVERYWHERE.

Again, if so, why would he want Dish/Sling of all the providers?

He could deliver anything without actually owning, for example, watching the Lions game in my Tesla Y on it's screen via the YT app, while on the way to my future in-laws on Sunday.

If Musk really wants to buy Boost, he might get a great price once Dish Wireless is out of Chapter 11.

Boost just lost 182,000 subs in the 3rd quarter-

Is Dish like Iran in one way...they both will totally collapse by end of week :)
Foxbat
Other than the price, my experience with Boost is not that different than what I experienced with my years with Cricket. I will be curious to see what happens if SpaceX takes the reins.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Rodney Dangerfield is great. One of his best one liners - "My wife likes to talk to me during sex, last night she called me from Florida!"

Jackie Gleason is another one of the greats.
