New DISH Anywhere app with New Interface & Enhanced Personalization Capabilities!
Remember this past January when I told you how excited we were for having Satellite broadcasting service back? For the past eight months we have been enjoying Dish Network Satellite television service and trust me I am not exaggerating, after years of not having it, everyone in the family was missing it a lot. The best part about having Dish Network service was this past June and why? Because Dish Network, made it easy for all of us to partake in all the 2014 FIFA World Cup excitement going on in Brazil, specially my husband. My husband didn’t have to miss one beat from the world cup because just before the first fútbol rolled, we downloaded Dish Anywhere app. Dish Network Anywhere app allows you to stream live programming on your tablet, phone, computer and TV. The best part is that, if you are a Dish Network Hopper® with Sling customer the anywhere app is part of your monthly service and will not cost you anything additional.

- What’s Hot: Previously available only on Hopper and DISH Explorer™, the What’s Hot feature makes it easy to find a TV show, movie or sports event to watch by highlighting the most popular programs based on real-time data from viewers. Programs can be filtered by local or national viewership and different genres.
