APPLE MUSIC USERS READ

If you use Apple Music, forget about it. It always says that the file is unsupported.

Latest update does not work

App time out?

I would really like this app to play my playlist without timing out. Somewhere around an hour I have to log back in and resume what I want to listen to. As a paying Dish customer, please give me an option to set my playlist and have it play uninterrupted until “I” want to sign out.

Works about half the time

Struggle with this every time I try to use it. Either it loses the connection to the tv or the tv program audio comes through between songs.
The now playing feature works with my iPod, but not my iPhone.

New version still does not work

Will not find dish receiver that is on the same network. Why does this application need to track my location too? Pay a lot of $ for dish network expect better.
