Dish App review

This service allows me to record shows/events/games that are important to me while I’m away from home as well as to watch from my mobile devices. I’m very appreciative

Buffering issues.

The app is great except for the most important thing….the lag/buggering. I know it’s the all because I’ll switch from watching a football game on the Dish app and the. Switch to the espn app and put on the same exact game and it runs much smoother. Awesome having access to all the channels through an app that we pay $400/month to use 6 channels, but it could be greatly improved….
