The DraftKings App is coming to DISH Hopper, Joey, and Wally receivers!
Starting March 3rd, customers can find DraftKings in the apps menu. The DraftKings app will let customers track game schedules, scores, bets, and contests through their Hopper, Joey, and Wally receivers. While the app doesn’t allow for customers to place wagers directly, they can use the receiver app to send a direct link via text message to place the wager via the DraftKings mobile app.
Please note: The DraftKings app is only accessible in localities where sports betting is legal. Customers in restricted areas will not be able to access the DraftKings app from their receiver.
You are not in it unless you opt in.Do. Not. Want.
Is there any way to opt out of this ?
Yeah, don't use it...smhDo. Not. Want.

This is a good point. If a gambling addict has easy access it can be detrimental. Maybe there should be a way to 'hide' this kind of app.That would be awesome, rearranging icons. No criticism to any gambler, but I know what it does to families when it gets out of hand.
Not only that, but sports betting is not even legal in many areas. So, there should be some way to automatically hide the app for people in states where they would not even be allowed to use it. I feel the same way about the Locast app. The Locast service is not available in many markets across the country. So, why should that app be front and center (so to speak) at the top of the Apps menu, even for people in markets where they have absolutely no use for the app? Move it down to the bottom of the Apps menu in markets where it is not available, or hide it completely. When Locast launches in those markets, then the app can reappear (or be moved back to the top of the Apps menu) as a way of advertising for the fact that the app is now available to them.This is a good point.

I do not have such confidence. In fact, I am pretty confident of the opposite opinion: Dish will stubbornly refuse to bring the DVR icon back to the main menu. I would make a bet on that, but I have lost such bets in the past.I am pretty confident Dish will bring dvr button back. Many subscribers use Harmony or other universal remotes. Watch the next update.
I will repeat myself.
That's funny, that's exactly what I did with all of my Hopper equipment. (I am ViP now.)Now, 'sell all' is highlighted.
I heard that Dish has decided to prioritize fixing the Guide info for all missing and incorrect OTA channels and subchannels throughout the country for OTA adapter users, and after that, they will bring back the DVR icon.I am pretty confident Dish will bring dvr button back
Awesome, where did you hear that?I heard that Dish has decided to prioritize fixing the Guide info for all missing and incorrect OTA channels and subchannels throughout the country for OTA adapter users, and after that, they will bring back the DVR button.
Crod, you are killing me! I like your sense of humor though. Stay well my friend.I do not have such confidence. In fact, I am pretty confident of the opposite opinion: Dish will stubbornly refuse to bring the DVR icon back to the main menu. I would make a bet on that, but I have lost such bets in the past.

I am sure you meant "See All."
OK thanks. Good infoI heard that from the Dish Super Excellent Corporate Escalation, Executive Dalliance and Semi-Legitimate Grievance Team (the DSECEEDSLGT).
FWIW, I am no longer that interested in Dish's guide info for OTA. Locast finally added Cleveland last week, so I can use that app to get the guide info. Of course, the Locast guide has its own issues. (Lots of issues!) I will cut them some slack, though, being such a recent launch.I heard that Dish has decided to prioritize fixing the Guide info for all missing and incorrect OTA channels and subchannels throughout the country for OTA adapter users, and after that, they will bring back the DVR icon.
