Apple TV and MLB live games with Google TV app

Wondering if anyone else has this issue with Apple TV app on the Hopper Plus.

It doesn't show the live Friday night MLB game. Yet all of our other apps on laptop, fire stick, etc throughout the house do. I don't see how to update any of these apps or clear a cache to try and get them to work. It happens with all games, so it's not a blackout issue.

Also, for every app on Play Store, look for the Developer Contact area which is where you need to contact for support with an app and report the problems.

In this case, it's support@apple.com by e-mail, About this App will show you the latest release version of the app and the release date.

1689164711290.png


When you look at the URL in the browser, you will see the package name of the app is com.apple.atve.sony.appletv and you can easily download the apk for this specific version at:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/apple/apple-tv-android-tv-2/apple-tv-android-tv-2-13-4-0-release/ or better yet, show all the versions for Android TV available which is what the Hopper+ is at:

and then just sideload it. When you have problems with apps on Android, you do not need to uninstall and reinstall as all you really need to do is clear data and clear cache after selecting the app. I don't have my Hopper+ hooked up or I would tell you exactly how to do it. There are also 3 different variants of Apple TV on Android: Android TV, Fire TV, Sony Android TV.

It is as I have shown you earlier, your device is just not on their supported compatibility list to see it.

There are 2 versions, generic Android TV:
1689264708274.png


For Sony
1689264856077.png



and as I mentioned earlier, download the APK and sideload it. No different than on the FireTV, lots of apps are not available on the Amazon Store but if you wanted to install it as long as it is Android, there is a way to do it. With that being said, keyboard apps is a exception as there is no way to select a different installed keyboard.

Wrong, do you even know how an app will show up or not on Google Play Store? It's based on the fingerprint of the device which is in build.prop. If it wasn't on a supported list for Google, you would see 0 apps in Google Play as what Google Play shows is based on the fingerprint of the device. Hopper is a DISH Service but the Hopper+ is an Android TV device and apps added to it is not handled thru DISH, the only apps handled thru DISH is the DISH TV app which gives you access to the Hopper DVR like before the Hopper+ was added, anything else is a add that you added on your own either by using the Google Play store or by sideloading. DISH is not going to support any app other than the DISH TV app, the same one where you watch satellite TV and the DVR recordings. Anything else is your own problem as someone in front of the Hopper+ added it on their own. And if you buy a app on Google Play Store, the money also goes to Google and not DISH. My first response already showed you who is responsible for each app as Apple is the one who submitted it to Google Play Store and Google is the one that acts between the consumer and the developer. You can load the Amazon Store on the Hopper+ and at that point, you would be dealing with Amazon and for apps you buy, it would go through Amazon which is easy to verify, buy an app and then ask for a refund within 30 minutes, look at who charged your credit card. Also, goto
Hopper Plus | DISH and you will see:
1689269332298.png

Notice it says on "Google Play", if it was DISH providing you the apps, it would not even use the name "Google" and let's look at what Google Play is:

Based on what you said, Apple Store also does not belong to Apple.

And before you ask, the developer as in Apple in this case is who decides on what devices are compatible or not and if the Hopper+ is not on the list, then you will not see the app show up. Instead of explaining it on my time, it helps if you educate yourself by reading:

Everyone has already tried to help you but you won't accept their input so why bother asking if you are going to challenge everyone's answers as it's basically wasting everyone's time and bandwidth.

Wrong.... You are talking about the Hopper, not the Hopper+ which are two different things. DISH controls everything on the Hopper DVRs but the Hopper+ which is a Android TV device, the only thing they control is the DISH TV app which really just is a interface to your Hopper DVR, everything else is your own issue and there is virtually no limit since you don't expect DISH to control all 10,000+ apps do you? The only app on the DISH Hopper+ that is controlled by DISH is the DISH app (package name com.dish.atv.launcher) which is always the same version as the Hopper+'s software update.

What gets loaded is based on the build.prop file where there is something called a fingerprint. I know more about Android than DISH does, look up my name and you will see that every internet connected device in the world uses some of my code known as the TCP/IP stack which came from BSD Unix. How can I modify the phone model in build.prop to get unsupported apps?

And please read my last comment before this one that has been edited. Also, Josh.M who is officially with DISH can tell you if DISH controls what apps are shown on the Google Play Store on the Hopper+ or not.

Your explanations all make sense to me. I guess what is strange is that Apple pointed me back to DISH to resolve the problem, and DISH escalated it within DISH rather than point me back to Apple. Since it was offered when the Hopper Plus began (I got mine in early Oct 22), I'm assuming Apple pulled the version that showed up on the Hopper Plus google store due to some compatibility issues? Being what I would consider a top 20 app that would be downloaded as a major streamer, doesn't it seem like a strange one to just get disconnected without DISH resolving it? Very happy that you pointed me to the sideload link, but still confused. I would completely get it if I was sideloading some minor app, but Apple TV?

Just a thought, maybe Apple decided to remove the Hopper+ because people were having problems even though one can't find Hopper+ discussions anywhere outside of here and DISH might have escalated it internally but they couldn't fix the problem since remember how slow the Hopper+ is even with accessing the Hopper, if they can't fix that which is their own product, do you really think they can fix something that was written by Apple who is the major competitor to Android but probably did so just to gain people using it but I am sure they want people to use the actual Apple TV hardware. As for a major app, NetFlix is big but if the device you are using it on is rooted, it will also not show up in Google Play Store and the only way is to find the apk elsewhere and then sideload it even back in 2016 and currently. The thing is when you read the comments on Google Play Store for the Apple TV app, it seems to not have even a good review probably because Apple only put in a minor amount of effort so it can be installed but functionality might have lots of bugs, etc as it is still new and might take some time before it actually works well. The other thing was maybe when the Hopper Plus began, Apple TV was just available for all devices and then later, they changed their database to either exclude by specific devices or only include specific devices so everything else is excluded. I think the end result and what matters is you can get the app installed and working without problems, whether or not it was downloaded directly from Google Play Store is another issue altogether as even if it was and it has problems after installing, that's still not good.

Juan - Didn't realize you were not the one who had the problem and also in Russia. The Hopper is the DVR which you are correct, all apps are controlled by DISH since you would not be able to add or remove any of the apps. The Hopper(+) Plus is a Android TV box provided by DISH that connects to the Hopper using a USB cable and the HDMI output which originally was on the Hopper is disconnected and instead connected to the Hopper(+) instead. It's the later box that we are discussing and when I meant your device, I meant any Android device in general, not your personal device. DISH's marketing appears to make the Hopper(+) Plus sound like a complete new Hopper DVR model which has everything the Hopper 3 has including Android TV support inside.

You are very welcome. Just hoped more people had the Hopper+ especially people on xda-developers.com as someone there will probably provide a custom ROM with the official DISH app meaning everyone will have more control of the device and with luck, might fix the lag issue(s) when accessing the Hopper, ofcourse that is still wishful thinking.

If you ponied up for an iPhone Duo, keep it away from anything other than your soft, fleshy fingertips. No fingernails, no dust, sand, dirt, or other particulate matter. And don't bend it more than it needs to. Zack has destroyed $2,000 of Apple hardware to get those views, which should cover his expenses.

Comcast called fiber pricing "irrational" because the ROI is over three years. What is irrational to me is Comcast internet is based on lines they put in the ground decades ago at this point, for the most part. Is copper that much more expensive to maintain?

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

You can't even trust the cost per ounce info in grocery stores anymore

Well, the bag can't weigh that much, right? But by law food product packaging must display the actual net weight of the product, i.e., the contents of the container, so by any logic, if not law, a store's stated per-ounce cost should reflect that figure. But since there's not any law regulating shelf statements, a store can say whatever it wants without violating any rules. So I guess the answer is more consumer legislation. Or simply caveat emptor.

I would think that the Vendor/Maker of the product would have a say in it, showing the Correct weight ...
You would think it would be in the contract.

I do look at the ounces of items, but unless its way off, I don't check the math, may have to start now.

Remember when you use to get a 13.5 oz bag of Chips .... Thats a PARTY Size now.

Unless the specific product or its packaging is known at the time of weighing, estimating the tare weight for a PoS system is a tall order.

I'm pretty sure that produce bags can't get any thinner. ;)

You certainly don't want to put unbagged produce on a belt, scale, or in a clerk's hands (gloved or not).

I would think that all the packaging would already be accounted for ... they weigh the container, subtract that from the scale, then add the product , so its weighing the Product only

You would be thinking wrong when it comes to goods that are sold by weight (meat, produce, nails). Those items typically go on the scale wrapped without an associated tare. The weight only excludes the sticker because it hasn't been printed yet.

Perhaps only for sliced meat and cheese. Salads and similarly "shifty" or "drippy" items are typically weighed in deli cartons of some sort.

My monster burritos (up to two lbs.) are weighed in their foil jackets or paper mache take-out trays, and the jacket/tray is then "sealed" with the printed label as it comes off the printer.

Precision has to give way to practicality in situations like that.

Now check and see if any of them (probably a few) are actual Ice Cream ...

Most Ice Creams are Not actual Ice Cream.
Bryers for example, call Most of thiers "Frozen Dairy Dessert"

I only buy Tillamook and Alden's ice cream. The first ingredients are milk and cream.

What ever I get out of the Deli is put into a container when I ask them for it, they weight the container and then add the deli product, thats the way its suppose to be, if the rest of the world is screwing you, you should try the place down the street.

I did look into that ... the ones I get have about 65mg, which is very little ... but then I wouldn't expect much to be in Ice Cream.
Carbs are more than I would have liked ...

We're less than 4 weeks away from Voyager 1 reaching a distance of one light day from Earth

I've always been super interested in things space related so this is a pretty cool event coming up. Nov 18, 2026 early in the morning, Voyager 1 will reach the distance of one full light day from Earth. Took almost 50 yrs. I was 13 when it launched.

All DMA's now Western Arc

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Looks like Charlie Ergen will never give up satellite TV. The reason Echostar 25 the most poweful DBS satellite ever built at 110 location already. Also Echostar 26 another super satellite on order for 119 orbital location will be ready in 15 months. he will have 110/119 for another 20 years. Dish will be the only satellte company left. The reason for rural areas and some people like satellite easy to operate and change channels in seconds.

I hope these new "most powerful" satellites will mean that DISH can provide every channel that can be sourced in HD in HD. I do not like the fact that two of my favorite channels (Start and H&I) are SD. I was also very disappointed after installation that METV has to be streamed from my internet connection. Finally, I dropped the locals upon seeing that my local CW channel is in blurry letterboxed SD when it has been HD OTA for years.

This piece gets me - the fact that Dish has removed SD channels from satellite completely in the name of "HD upgrades". I pay for satellite TV, not streaming...I don't see why they couldn't leave the SD version of the channels on Satellite then put the HD streaming version like they have for other channels.

Even if you are broadcasting old SD-only shows, I would think advertisers would still want their commercials to look good.

I watch mostly SD channels (H&I, Start and ION, etc.). There are plenty of advertisers, this time of the year it is mostly Medicare Advantage plans, auto extended warranties and the occasional walk-in-tub. They know who is watching.
