The way we use the VIP722's modulated outputs gives me a whole house dvr without extra boxes throughout the house, and extra fees. I understand the change in technology, the solution would be to replace the sling adapters with a new and improved one. I really don't want to have to have a hopper and bunch of joeys to do what I do now. The other thing would be good if they added the modulated stereo outputs to the hoppers. An extra 30% to my already overly high dish bill is not a viable solution to me, the fact is 80% of what we watch is over the air channels and we are now paying as much as we used to for dish everything, just to be able to watch a handful of programs.
The joeys give you independent viewing, which is more than the ViP mirroring, which is probably in SD anyway.

One day, VIP users will find out what legacy users did - no choice. You'll have to upgrade. The price increase is the worst part. I think equipment fees are stupid high as they are.
no effect on the stand-alone pc app.....hopefully that will continue to be maintained....
I didn't even know there was a stand alone PC app.
yep...been using it for months......it was mostly for the audio, so guess i can live with the browser version
Where do you get the PC app? I checked the Windows Store and Dish.com. Dish.com only shows the iOS and android apps.
Click on the recording in the DVR section and you will see DELETE with a trash can next to it.
I click on the show from my recordings and it takes me to that show page. When I click on an episode I get Play or More Ways to Watch.
Folks, I am just curious. Is anyone annoyed by Dish Anywhere? I am amazed at Dish Network blatant disregard of their obligation to treat Dish Anywhere as a product, just like they do with regards to quality of their satellite service and their receivers. Here is just a few of my examples.
This week, Dish rolled out a new web interface for Dish Anywhere. There was no notification of changes or of anything, you just go to the URL and everything is different. This new roll out has significantly reduced functionality as compared to just a few days ago.
1. Clicking on support link results in "sorry, we can not find this page"
2. The Windows Dish Anywhere player is no longer used, an HTML5 player embedded in browser is now the video player. There was no attempt to de-install the Dish Anywhere player or any other message. It was just left installed but useless.
3. In previous Web application, there was a button to start live playback. Now there is nothing. You have to figure out to go to Guide and select the program you want to watch and clich watch.
4. In previous version, there was a control pad as part of the Dish Anywhere player where you could enter the number of the channel you want to watch, jump back to previous channels, etc. None of this is available now, NONE.
5. Even through you logged in with your account password, you are still not able to watch your DVR content. To play each clip (I mean every time you click on any clip), a separate window pops up and you have to enter an access code. Worst yet, when the new Dish Anywhere was rolled out, I had no 4 digit access code, I could not access my DVR content, I had to go to my receiver and change the access code with remote control, even through I did not have a code before.
6. The list of recordings I have in my DVR window is useless. All the icons look same, there is no information on recorded date, any details of the program, nothing. YOu literally have to play it to figure out what it is. This was functional before
7. Before this roll out, I was able to RESUME a recording from my DVR on my Web Dish Anywhere. This function is gone as well. Everything starts from beginning, even if you find what you are trying to view.
Well, I am tired of listing any more, this is pathetic enough. And all this in just past couple of days. There were numerous broken playback functions in Dish Anywhere in the past years that I have subscribed to Dish, complaining to support is useless because they are trained to act like they don't understand what you are saying or that the bug is actually a feature.

Support dosen't understand unless you get to advanced support, as most of the support has never seen or touched the new interface yet. And most won't they only go by the scripts they have in front of them.
One thing I have learned over the past 14 years of running this place is most DISH employees don't even have the service.
With that said a good list... and I do know the folks who are in charge of this project will / have seen your list so hopefully they can make more improvements from there.

I assume you're referring to the PC version of DA, since I'm not seeing any of the issues you mentioned in the Android version.
I'm assuming this is about going to dishanywhere.com???
Hey Scott, let's get our math right. It's 16 years not 14!Support dosen't understand unless you get to advanced support, as most of the support has never seen or touched the new interface yet. And most won't they only go by the scripts they have in front of them.

chubafelix, I had no idea that the new Dish Anywhere PC interface had so many problems and missing features. I am still using Firefox, so when I tried to use Dish Anywhere, the interface came up, but I could not really use it. I assumed that the reason I saw so many problems was because I was using an unsupported browser.
Usually, when a completely new interface is released, it adds features rather than eliminates a lot of features that everyone uses.
At least you can still use Dish Anywhere. I am reluctant to install Chrome on my computer, so I have completely lost the ability to use Dish Anywhere on my PC. ...Worked one day ...unsupported the next.
I understand why they needed to update it and hopefully it will improve with future software updates, but it would have been better to hold off releasing the new interface until it was at least as functional as the previous one (for PC people).
Yes, I am annoyed by Dish Anywhere.

one BIG improvement is that I can finally use DA on my Chromebox - which means I have another way to watch on a larger screen without paying for a Joey (time to deactivate another one!). And since it works on a cheap phone with only 16 GB storage (I have several just being used as wifi devices around the house) I can uninstall the DA android app & use just Chrome to stream, seems to work as good as the app does.
Scroll and pause head up display still won't go away, just darkens the screen and always stays up. Is there any fix for this?
Mine wouldn’t let me watch live TV this morning, said the Hopper wasn’t connected, (it was) but it would let me stream the channel I wanted
