| - We ordered DISH network service because we were tired of being charged such high prices by COX.
We're relatively happy with DISH because of the significantly lower cost compared to COX, but the program guide, search and remote control functionality is not intuitive and it can get confusing at times.
One issue has recently surfaced that we feel is something people considering the service need to know. DISH is NOT a SHOWTIME approved streaming source. Details below.
I downloaded the SHOWTIMEAnytime app for my Samsung Galaxy S4. When I tried to watch a program, the register my provider screen popped up and I was shocked to see that DISH is NOT LISTED as an authorized subscriber source for SHOWTIME Anytime.
Every OTHER TV service we know about, COX, CenturyLink, Direct TV, TimeWarner, Verizon FiOS, Cablevision, Charter, etc.... and many brands we've never heard of like Broadstripe, Northland, Bright House and numerous others are approved for SHOWTIME Anytime programming.
So many cable/satellite providers approved, but NOT DISH.
Needless to say we are extremely disappointed because neither "Homeland", one of our most favorite programs, or Showtime On Demand is available on DISH and because they obviously don't have the right agreement with Showtime, we can't watch SHOWTIME episodes on any of our mobile devices either.
Had we known about this significant limitation when we subscribed to DISH, we would have subscribed to DirectTV instead.
