Well, DA is NOT designed to watch on a TV, for obvious reasons. However, here are 3 ways one can do it in order of least expensive on up:
1. Well, while it is not from your Hopper, you do have credentials to access many channels via devices like Roku, and they often provided a live feed as well as several shows on demand, especially recent episodes of current shows.
2. Access and control DA from a mobile device like a tablet with MIRRORING function. That stream on your mobile device will be sent to a connnected device like a Roku or FireTV or HD/UHD TV or even a TiVo. However, while the PQ is somewhat watchable, I would not call it "Good" quality, but lots better than nothing and good enough of one is not picky about PQ, like many I know. This is because the quality of the stream is for your MOBILE device and then the mobile sends it to the connected device. It is NOT like "casting" like say YouTube because in that technology, the mobile device tells the connected device the URL, and then the connnected device makes a direct connection to the source and results in high quality. Not so for "Mirroring."
3. IRONICALLY, get yourself a Slingbox and a FireTV. Now you will have really good quality PQ, even in slow speed/low bandwidth situations. Only FireTV has the latest and fully working SlingPlayer app (Free). I use it quite a bit. You can get, if not STUNNING HD PQ, at least GOOD quality HD that will make you think you are at home. You can access EVERYTHING from your Hopper--UNLIKE DA that cannot access connected HDD's nor use of the PIP functions. Anything you can do at home, you can do with a Slingbox.
I let my relatives use my FireTV to view local KTLA when it was not available during negotiations. My upstream is a mere 4Mbps MAX (but we both have 60Mbps downstream). Well, I set them up with my Slingbox at home with my LOUSY 4Mbps, and it streamed via internet to their 55" UHDTV. It takes a few minutes of playback for the Slingbox to adjust the encoding for best results on the network, but after about 4 minutes, we were all STUNNED at how BEAUTIFUL the picture was, and I mean color and detail, etc. It looked just as good as when they view it on Dish, although I could not compare, but the point is that they did NOT consider it a diminished experience at all. Slingbox has the best propriatary encoding that adapts for great PQ and stability (not freezing or pixels).
Franlky, if it were me, and I wanted FULL control and best PQ to enjoy what a big screen TV had to offer in viewing experience, I would go with Slingbox and FireTV, easily the best solution for extended stays where you want to enjoy TV just like at home. The audio is
Stereo only, but the picture is HiDef if using the COMPONENT connections. Just be certain to connect your Dish box using the COMPONENT cables--NOT THE HDMI. HDMI has content protection and it won't pass along many, many channels and recordings, but COMPONENT is HD and everything will be passed on and streamed.
Let us know what you decide.
