If You Can DISH It, You Can Take It… ANYWHERE!

With DISH’s new mobile app, DISH mobile, you’re only a finger tap away from access to your favorite shows, movies, and sports teams on your tablet or Smartphone. While this may be a blessing to some, it may prove a problem to those who have trouble exercising sound judgment. Here are a few dos and don’ts for those who want to take advantage of DISH’s latest innovation.

Good Idea: Merlin in the Laundry Room computer in laundry room

Dave has had a crush on Emily from 7A since she moved into the building a few weeks ago. She’s a bit of a fantasy fan, as is evident from the tomes she tends to tote around that always feature either a dragon or a knight on their cover. It’s cute, perhaps a little geeky, but cute. With DISH mobile, Dave can access channels like SyFy on his tablet, so he never is more than a tap away from the latest episodes of Merlin. All he has to do is “accidentally” have her catch him watching an episode of the show while they both are doing laundry. Suddenly, Dave has that icebreaker that he’s been waiting for since she first caught his eye.

Bad Idea: The Red Sox Game in Yankee Stadium

The Yankees are running away with the game. It’s 7-0, the middle of the second inning and Sabbathia is clearly in the zone. Unfortunately, Dave is a Red Sox fan, and he absolutely despises the Yankees. He’s been dragged to the game by his cousin, Jeff, who dreams in pinstripes. Dave knows that the sports package he found on dish.com will allow him to watch the Red Sox game that’s about to go into the bottom of the 9th. He also knows that the fans around him won’t be thrilled should he use his phone to do so.

iPad at Beach

 

Good Idea: Using DISH mobile to watch Moby Dick at the beach.

Bad Idea: Using DISH mobile to watch The Beach in Moby Dick.

 

 

computer at gym

 

Good Idea: Using DISH mobile to watch Drive on demand while running at the gym.

Bad Idea: Watching Logan’s Run while driving to the gym.

5 Ways to Make it ’til the Next Season of…

Waiting until the next season of your favorite show airs can be difficult, especially if production wraps up on a particularly nerve-wracking cliffhanger or hints at a special guest star. Here are 5 ways to pass the time between seasons of your favorite shows that will keep your fan-fever intact:

Plotlines 

Re-watch the last season’s episodes and look for plotline hints. Even the most die-hard fans might miss subtle clues because they’re so busy absorbing an episode when it initially airs. Your sleuthing may be rewarded with insight on upcoming plot twists or tongue-in-cheek jokes that are played out in the background.

Enlist Your Friends

Recruit a friend to check out your favorite series from the beginning. Watching episodes with a friend will let you experience the excitement all over again – plus they’ll be prepared to watch the new season with you! Treat them to the best with free HD programming from DISH - there’s nothing like great TV in HD, after all.

Trivia Time

Try your hand at a little show-centric trivia. Knowing who made a cameo appearance as the lead actor’s uncle in Season 5 might not wow your friends at the office, but it will definitely impress your fellow fans.

Do a Little Research

Scour the web for hints, tips and actor interviews to find out what’s in store for the seasons to come. Even while they’re still being filmed, casual quotes can offer big clues about where your favorite series is heading once the new season airs. Just be sure not to let any secrets slip to surprise-loving fellow fans.

Count Down the Seconds

Be prepared as the clock ticks down. Use the The Hopper® from DISH and you’ll be able to record the newest episode of your favorite show – as well as up to 5 more shows at the same time! Can’t wait to watch it? Even if you’re stuck at work, DISH offers streaming capabilities to your Smartphone or tablet so you don’t have to miss a moment of the big reveal.
