That's odd, because I demo it at every new customer and it always brings up the actual show. I've searched for Master Chef, Chicago Cubs, Colorado Rockies, Buffalo Bills, et al and always works. One thing, though, the customer's not logged into their Google account when I'm demoing
I hate this thing. I have yet to get it to work successfully ONCE. 95% of the time it tells me it is unavailable and to try again later. I finally asked it to search “Renegade” and the search result was “weather.” Huh? There is no resemblance. I actually complained to the FCC about all of this and the FCC said my complaints were justified. Google corporate admitted that there have been a lot of unhappy customers. It had not worked as they had hoped and if I wanted out of my contract, I could do so. I’m out. It did take an official complaint to do this. Dish had previously told me that if I didn’t like the new system, too bad. I was stuck. Oh. I don’t think so.
You are not paying for voice remote service. It is free and complimentary. You pay for linear channels. You pay DVR service fees. But you don’t pay fees for voice remote service.
How exactly would Google Corporate allow you out of a Dish contract?
W
hy would I want to disables feature that was the whole reason I got Dish in the first place? I don’t want to control my lights or thermostat with a freaking tv remote. That’s what apps are for.
First, welcome to the forum.
The fact of the matter is that you pay Dish to deliver the TV channels to your TV and the DVR functions of the receiver if you pay for that too, but that's it. Dish Anywhere, voice remotes, Netflix, Youtube, apps and all the rest are just gravy. You don't pay for them and Dish doesn't have to provide them. It's just that simple.
I don't get all these 'complaints' and trying to get out of the contract over seemingly minor inconveniences. If you did quit Dish please tell me what other provider will furnish you with a voice controlled remote and Google assistant. I don't know of any.
I’m seeing a trend. Classicrun Is a pissed off customer and is about to spam this thread. Unsubscribing at this point.
You bet I’m pissed off. Dish shoved something that didn’t work down our throats.
Claude finally did it. He signed up a new satguys account as a woman.
So since you don’t pay for, don’t use it. Will not have you pissed off anymore. Conflict resolution like adults!!!
Does that mean I never have to leave my chair?Wasn't there a Bluetooth toilet at the last CES?
My Hopper3 is logged into my Google Account and almost all of my searches work fine. Plus it answers my questions such as “what was the final score of Michigan versus Army game”.
Plus I like that it controls all of my lights.
I wonder if Classicrun does not have good internet on her Hopper3. Both Alexa and Google Assistant require an internet connection to work. If she says it is never available perhaps she has a poor internet connection.
