Dish's new update that was forced upon us sucks!!!!! I hate it when companies do that, and for what? The screen views look dated, It's slow and unresponsive, and It hogged up all my memory within a day. Someone please tell me why this new platform is better. It has yet to be discovered by me.

Many channels will not appear even if you have enter the channel number. You may not get so many regional channels like Z TV, Sun TV etc
