I am considering using this to stream Dish TV ("Dish Anywhere") in my vacation condo from my home. Is anyone doing it? Would it not work?

I don't think this would work with the FAVI. But please make sure with others. Good luck.Al

I had this for a while. At first, it worked just fine, then after a few days, it would take forever to load. Don't know why, nothing had been moved and didn't have any problem with other devices, such as Roku (after I plugged it back inn - not simultaneous). There is supposed to be an upgrade to download, but I could never get the thing to do it, it was just perpetual waiting. I sent it back. You might want to just take your laptop or netbook (if you have one) and an HDMI cord. I ended up with roku 3 (it has Youtube now lots of other apps) and if I want to see web content on a larger screen, I just hook up the netbook via HDMI. I don't think they have this technology at a dependable point yet. It might work for you - it might not.

As long as the provider does not require it to watch the channels you want then no. Local SD and HD channels over the air should work fine.

I run a signal from my dish receiver to a tv in another room and it works just fine. Crystal clear and the remote works too i just have to take the dish remote into the room with me

Hello Thank you for the question. This item is used for dish network equipment. It is probably compatible, but sold to connect dish network equipment to the Internet. I don't believe this is what you need. Best regards

i have tried this with my Dish Anywhere app and all it does is transfer sound and no video. i know it works for video because i have an app i use for my ipad using it for powerpoint presentation with no sound. Last I heard Dish does not support this device but i have not tried it on IOS 7 yet.

I couldn't get it to pick up anything. I returned it. I bought the app DishPointer Pro for my android and point it at the sky to find the 3 DirecTV HD satellites. We live in RV and move often. I have Direct's SlimLine dish for Genie, and I can have a signal within 5 minutes using the DishPointer Pro app.

I'd say it's worth a try. It sends both audio and video for me. It does glitch sometimes, but I have a work-around. I use it to split the signal from a 3x1 HDMI switch (Sat Receiver, Blu-ray player, and Roku box) to send it to two Coby HDTVs. I have a Redmere HDMI cable in one of the runs. This setup works--it sends both Video and Audio quite well. However... Sometimes (but not always) I have to turn my source off and then back on to get a proper HDMI handshake. Sometimes the initial handshake sends video, but not audio. Sometimes it works perfectly on the first attempt. But the second attempt (when needed) always works. It's kind of weird... But there's a lot of hand-shaking in my setup, so...

If you have the right software, yes. I used it for my Dish Network DVR and had to call dish and let them know and with in a few minutes of, "special programing" it was working. It is some type of conversion 'soft ware' and I am sure you can get it online free. A better person to ask might be the one who sale's this item.

This dish will not support HD, so that receiver will work great....same one I use. I use mine at Camp in the mountains and the dish works great, it is small and easy to set up quick. I do suggest that you look at purchasing a Satellite Finder Meter For Directv to make the set up quicker, the one I purchased was made by Satellite Finder, sold by Smartie Store on Amazon, only $8.99. You may want a tri pod or pole to mount the dish for ease as well.

Not exactly sure of what you're asking. This device will stream the Dish Satellite channels that you already subscribe to to an internet-equipped device. You need a satellite subscription and high-speed internet in your home to be able to stream the channels to wherever you are remotely.

Not sure...we have cable and it is fine with that, but don't know about Dish...sorry.

do you have it set up through your cable or dish? i don't and it works just fine. i didn't want to go through all the re-connecting because ia can never get it the same. i just put it through the game poet on the side of my tv.

I never got mine to work at all. I am approx. 30 miles from tv stations. Tried it inside and outside. Finally gave up

Yes you can take your home dish receiver to the camper and hook it to this dish antenna and after aiming it at the satellites you can get all your dish programming on your trailer tv while on vacation if you are in the same area you still get your local channels. If out of the area you won't get locals.

I have had no problem getting OTA digital stations. The box has a connection for a satellite, dont have a dish, but I see no reason it should not work. What the box does is select what input you send to each tv. It doesnt care what the signal is, it just switches it.

I agree. The Hopper and the OTA will only work with activated Dish service. As suggested why not purchase a TiVo to record programs with an antenna for reception of the local signals.
