Dishanywhere 5 user limit

I am at my 5 user max, my phone was stolen, how do I delete the device so I can add the new device?

You can only deauthorize it from the device. You will need to wait 30 days for it to drop off.

Matt, curious, how does the system know to drop it after 30 days?

It just knows! After 30 days of not using DAny on that device it drops it as an authrized device

My guess, just like the hopper transfer app, it had to "authorize" by connecting every 30 days.

So it's like HBOGO where you have reauthorize your right to use it.

It "knows" because it syncs up with the receiver through LAN. Once it un-syncs, it starts a timer for 30 days and when you sync or connect to the LAN again, it reauthorizes.
