Channel apps that work in conjunction with dish

[Micallen]

Piggybacking on this thread http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/disney-xd-hd.351948/ which channel apps have you found that work well with Roku or Fire stick for FULL episodes? In other words, you get the app, login with your Dish ID, and it actually works?

List here !!

They all work if you subscribe. Really not than many, though. Ones I've used:

HBO Go
FoxNow
FXNow
PBS
A&E

Showtime Anytime...

FXNow does not work with a Dish sign in, I just looked on their site, DirecTV yes, Dish no.

Correct, I assumed FoxNow would be tied with FXnow. WRONG on my part. But I guess we should never assume smooth sailing when it comes to FOX.

EDIT: Bruce deleted his post this was in response to.

And most of those apps are not on the Roku/Fire TV which is what the original poster wanted to know.

The only ones on is ESPN/ Disney and SyFy ( but only shows clips ).

Sorry. Forgot about that caveat.

No comedy central, which kind of sucks. The on demand "channel" has very limited selection of a few episodes per show.

So you mean that the Roku player will allow you to watch DISH anywhere or the channels you mention will work as long as you have them in your DISH programming pack?

 

[Bobby]

Just the channels. They are all available on my Roku, and some on my Apple TV, as long I have a Dish sub that includes them...

With ABC, NBC, and Fox offering free streaming, it's amazing that CBS thinks they can get away with charging for streaming access.

 

[jerryez]

CBS thinks that there S**t don't stink!

Actually, it's Les Moonves who doesn't.

The CBS App is like Hulu Light. For $3.99/mo you get access to not only the current CBS programming, but a number of older CBS/Paramount programming like all of the Star Trek series, I Love Lucy, etc. But the value is minimal because Netflix also has all of the Star Trek series, plus a whole lot more interesting programs and original series.

Great listing. I find it quite surprising that quite a lot of other channels have still not got their apps on Roku. Eg, TNT and TBS has apps for mobile but not on Roku (and it works with Dish login). Or Bravo which offers app but on apple tv only or Syfy whose Roku app is a joke and must have been written keeping in mind that we are in 2006 and not 2016.

All these companies complain about Streaming services but then fails magnificently to give to their remaining subscribers what they want but are thinking on how to charge again their subscribers for the same things.

The "legacy" companies can just make noise and complain.
