If you've noticed a small banner at the bottom of your TV guide recommending shows and movies, you have full control over it! You can leave it on, turn it off completely, or set it to only show helpful tips and tricks. The exact steps to change this will depend slightly on which Dish remote you're using (like the 40.0, 50.0, 52.0, 54.x, or 60.0 models).

Important Note for Joey 4 & Hopper Plus Users: The Android TV interface on Joey 4 and Hopper Plus receivers does not support banner customization, and these settings are not present in those menus.

Method 1: Update via the Guide Menu (Standard Receivers)

1. Select Guide Settings.
2. Select Notification Banner, then choose your preference (like Show All or Show Tips and Tricks Only).

Method 2: Update via the Main Menu (Standard Receivers)

1. Select the Settings icon (it looks like a gear).
2. Select Guide.
3. Select Notification Banner and choose your preferred setting.

Visit the Dish Support page for more features and settings: https://support.dish.com/products/receivers/hopper-settings

It’s that easy! Customizing these settings helps keep your guide looking and functioning exactly how you want it to. If you aren't sure which remote model you have or run into any trouble finding these menus, just let us know in the comments below.

Hey everyone!

To help make your next movie night or live event seamless, here's a quick guide on how Pay-Per-View works on DISH. Below you’ll find channel listings, tips for redeeming rental certificates correctly, and quick steps to clear an error code if one pops up.

TL;DR

• Live PPV events: Browse channels 460–474.
• Scheduled PPV movies: Browse channels 502–517.
• Fastest ordering method: Order directly through your DISH receiver.
• HD orders: HD PPV content cannot be ordered through the MyDISH App or website. Order through your receiver or by phone.
• Movie Rental Certificates: Valid for eligible movies priced at $6.99 or less. Certificates must be redeemed through an off-receiver ordering method.

Where to Find Pay-Per-View Content

Live PPV events

• Channels 460–474
• Internet is not required.
• Movie Rental Certificates cannot be used for live events or sports.

Scheduled PPV movies

• Channels 502–517
• Internet is not required.
• Eligible movies priced at $6.99 or less may qualify for a Movie Rental Certificate.

Event channels, start times, and ordering options may vary. Review the individual event listing before placing your order.

How to Place Your Order

Ordering HD content: The MyDISH App and website support SD PPV orders only. To order a movie or event in HD, place the order through your receiver or by phone.

Using Your Receiver

Find the movie or event in your program guide, select it, and follow the on-screen prompts.

Orders placed directly through your receiver are charged to your account and will not automatically apply a Movie Rental Certificate.

By Text

Text MOVIE to 46764 and follow the automated instructions.

This option applies to scheduled movie rentals on channels 502–517.

By Phone

Call 1-877-DISH-PPV (1-877-347-4778) and follow the automated instructions or speak with an agent.

You can also use this number to order HD PPV content or redeem an eligible Movie Rental Certificate.

Online or Through the MyDISH App

Sign in at my.dish.com or open the MyDISH App to browse and order eligible SD PPV content.

Using a Movie Rental Certificate

Movie Rental Certificates can be used for eligible PPV and On Demand movies priced at $6.99 or less.

A few things to know:

• Certificates must be redeemed through the MyDISH App, mydish.com, text ordering, or 1-877-DISH-PPV.
• Certificates cannot be applied to orders placed directly through your receiver.
• Certificates cannot be used for live events, sports, or adult titles.
• They cannot be applied toward a movie priced above $6.99.
• Partial certificate payments and discounts on higher-priced movies are not available.
• If a movie costs less than $6.99, the remaining certificate value does not carry over.
• Certificates cannot be used for DISH Anywhere rentals or permanent digital purchases.

You can review your available certificates under My Rental Certificates in MyDISH.

How Scheduled Movie Rental Windows Work

Scheduled movie rentals on channels 502–517 include the remaining showtimes airing between 5:00 a.m. ET that day and 5:00 a.m. ET the following morning.

Because access follows the broadcast schedule, ordering later in the day does not begin a new 24-hour rental window.

Live-event viewing windows can vary, so check the event details displayed on your screen before ordering.

Preventing Accidental Purchases

Hopper, Joey, and Wally Receivers

Press HOME or MENU, then go to:

Settings > Parental Controls > Restrict Purchases

Turn the restriction on and follow the prompts to create a PIN.

ViP-Series Receivers

Press MENU, then go to:

Locks > Lock PPV > Lock System

Follow the prompts to create a four-digit PIN.

What to Do if Your Order Does Not Appear

If you see Programming Not Authorized or error 005, 013, or 014 after ordering:

1. Sign in at my.dish.com or open the MyDISH App.
2. Go to My Equipment.
3. Select Wake Up Receivers.
4. Allow up to five minutes for the programming to appear.

If the message remains:

1. Unplug the receiver’s power cord for 10 seconds.
2. Plug it back in.
3. Allow up to five minutes for the receiver to restart.

For Hopper and Joey systems, restart the Hopper, not an individual Joey.

Hopefully this takes some of the guesswork out of ordering your next movie or live event.

For our current redditors, thank you for your continous engagement. This post was created based on your questions regarding installation and roofing types. For our new Dish customers, first of all, thank you for joining the DISH family! We want to ensure your satellite TV installation is a smooth and professional experience. Our technicians are trained to provide high-quality service while respecting your home. This official guide will help you understand what is included in a standard installation and how to prepare for your appointment.

Here is what you can expect leading up to and on the big day

What to Expect

➜ Confirmation: You'll receive your appointment details at your registered email address. Please review them to make sure everything looks correct. 

➜ Reminders: The day before your appointment, we'll reach out via phone, email, or text to remind you. 

➜ The 75-Minute Window: On installation day, we provide a 75-minute estimated arrival window, the shortest window out there! 

➜ “Where’s My Tech” Tracking: Stay informed with live updates on your technician's location up to an hour before they arrive.

How to Prepare (The Checklist)

1. Room Selection: Decide exactly which rooms you’ll want service in. If possible, pull your TVs away from the wall and clear a path to the power outlets.
2. Clear the Way: Make sure the technician has easy access to parking, as well as clear access to your roof or balcony.
3. Secure Pets: Please keep your furry friends safely secured in another room to avoid any accidental contact with the tech.
4. HOA/Property Management: If you rent or have an HOA, don't worry! They cannot legally prevent you from having satellite TV, and we always follow required installation regulations.

Let’s talk about the standard installation services!

Equipment Setup

• The technician will determine the best location for your dish (roof, balcony, or outside wall) to ensure a clear line of sight to the south.
  • Note: If you have a metal roof, the technician will evaluate alternative mounting options like a wall or pole to ensure a secure installation.
  • If necessary, a pole mount up to five feet can be used at no extra cost.
• The technician will discuss all placement options with you and get your final approval before starting any work.

Professional Wiring

• We include up to 150 feet of RG-6 coaxial cable from the dish to your receivers.
• Cabling is typically routed through attics or unfinished basements to keep it out of sight.
• Any necessary exposed wiring will be neatly dressed and secured for a clean finish.

What to expect on installation day

Setup & Orientation

• Once the equipment is installed, the technician will activate your receivers and program your DISH remotes.
• You will receive a "Getting Started" guide and a thorough tutorial to ensure you are comfortable using your new system.
• The technician will clean up the work area, removing all packaging and boxes before they leave.

Information About Custom Work

While standard work covers most homes, some specific requests or complex layouts may require custom work, which can involve extra charges. Examples include:

• Burying more than 50 feet of cable.
• Complex cable routing (fishing) through finished walls.
• Relocating existing equipment or running cable beyond 150 feet.

Please note: If a future visit is required because equipment was moved after the initial installation, service charges may apply.

We hope this guide has helped you prepare for your installation. We are committed to providing you with a seamless and enjoyable entertainment experience. If you have any further questions or need to make changes to your appointment, please visit our website, join the MyDISH app, ping me u/DishDanielle, or contact our customer support team at your earliest convenience.

Welcome to the comprehensive feature and support guide for the DISH Wally. As the smallest and fastest mobile-friendly HD receiver from DISH, the Wally is designed to provide a premium entertainment experience whether used as a compact home unit or taken on the open road for outdoor recreation.

1. System Overview & The Outdoor Advantage
The Wally features a space-saving design while offering a modern, responsive interface identical to the premium Hopper lineup.

• Ultra-Compact Footprint: Measuring just 10.4"W x 1.6"H x 8.1"D, its small design easily fits into tight entertainment centers, compact rooms, or RV cabinetry.
• DISH Outdoors Native Integration: The Wally seamlessly pairs with portable mobile satellite antennas (such as the DISH Tailgater or DISH Playmaker). It is the premier receiver for the DISH Pay-As-You-Go outdoor program, letting users start or pause satellite service month-to-month without cancellation fees.

2. Smart Interface, Voice Control, & Apps
Despite its mobile size, the Wally utilizes a full-scale smart interface that acts as an all-in-one media hub.

• Voice Remote Search: Use the DISH Voice Remote to search across your linear guide, On Demand library, and integrated streaming apps simultaneously using simple spoken phrases.
• Hands-Free TV™ (Alexa Integration): Connect your Wally to the internet to pair it with an Amazon Alexa-enabled device, letting you completely control volume, playback, and channels using hands-free voice commands.
• Built-In Applications: Jump straight into premium third-party platforms directly from your TV menu without flipping inputs:
  • Netflix: Access your streaming subscription instantly.
  • Pandora: Stream free, personalized music stations.
  • Game Finder App: View live sports schedules alongside real-time scores and updates.
• What’s Trending & On Demand: Browse a vast library of thousands of movies, free episodes, rentals, and kids' content while using the "What's Trending" module to see what events the rest of the nation is watching.

3. Custom Modular Upgrades (Accessory System)
A key feature of the Wally is its modular architecture, allowing users to customize and build out advanced features by plugging optional accessories directly into the receiver's USB ports:

• External Hard Drive (EHD)/DVR Expansion: Turns your Wally into a fully functioning DVR. Allows you to record, pause, and rewind up to one program at a time without an ongoing monthly DVR fee.
• USB Wi-Fi Adapter - Wireless Connectivity: Unlocks wireless home network access to load streaming apps (Netflix, Pandora), use DISH Anywhere for On Demand content, and enable voice routing features.
• USB Bluetooth Adapter - Wireless Audio Output: Connects the Wally to Bluetooth headphones (for private, late-night watching) or Bluetooth tailgating speakers without tangling cords.
• Over-the-Air (OTA) Tuner - Local Channel Integration - Pulls free local broadcast channels directly from an over-the-air digital antenna straight into your standard on-screen programming guide.

4. Convenience & Security Layout
The Wally incorporates hardware-level shortcuts and protections to optimize daily use.

• 200-Foot RF Remote Control: The included remote utilizes Radio Frequency (RF) technology rather than standard Infrared (IR). This means you can control the box from up to 200 feet away, even through walls, closed cabinets, or RV obstructions.
• Built-in Remote Finder: If the remote goes missing around your campsite or living room, push the dedicated button on the front face of the Wally receiver. The remote control will immediately begin to beep and blink to guide you to its location.
• Advanced Parental Controls: Secure your viewing environment by locking out specific channel numbers, restricting mature content by rating categories, or blocking unauthorized Pay-Per-View purchases.

Quick Reference Setup Checklist
To troubleshoot or maximize a customer's Wally experience, verify the following configuration points:

• Network Status - For streaming services, Alexa control, and On Demand, ensure the Wally has a secure internet connection (requires an external USB Wi-Fi adapter or hardwired Ethernet cable).
• DVR Capability - Remind users that recording functionality requires a dedicated External Hard Drive (EHD) connected to the rear USB port, which requires a one-time activation.
• DISH Anywhere - Users can utilize the DISH Anywhere application on phones, tablets, or laptops to browse and watch thousands of On Demand titles linked to their account tier.

In summary, the DISH Wally is a powerful and flexible HD receiver that punches above its weight. Whether serving as a space-saving unit in your home or providing high-definition entertainment on the road through the DISH Outdoors program, the Wally delivers a premium experience. With its smart interface, voice control, and modular USB accessory system including options for DVR, Wi-Fi, and local channel integration the Wally can be customized to meet all your viewing needs, offering the ultimate blend of portability and full-featured satellite television.

📡Has your apartment complex or Homeowners Association told you that you aren't allowed to have a satellite dish? To be protected under federal guidelines, you just need a private space that you exclusively control like your own private balcony or deck to set up the antenna. Don't worry, a flat "no" from a property manager isn't always the final word!

If you're trying to get DISH installed but running into roadblocks, it helps to know your rights. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) created the Over-the-Air Reception Devices (OTARD) Rule specifically to protect your choice of TV providers.

In most situations, you are completely allowed to have a DISH antenna installed as long as you meet these two simple criteria:

➜ Exclusive use: The antenna is installed in an area that you have sole access to (such as a private balcony, patio, or deck).

➜ Keep it contained: The antenna's placement does not extend into or hang over any common areas (such as community walkways, shared roofs, or gardens).

If you meet these minimum requirements but are still being told you cannot get service, or if you just have questions regarding how the OTARD Rule applies to your specific home, you can contact the FCC directly at 888-CALL-FCC (225-5322). They can determine whether your choice of TV provider is being unlawfully denied and help you resolve the issue with your property.

For reference, here is the official page covering these details and your options:

⏸️ Heading out of town for a while or just need to take a break from your TV service? You can put your account on hold instead of completely canceling. This feature costs $5/mo. Keep in mind that while your contract will simply pause and pick up exactly where it left off when you return, any active promotional credits or offers on your account will be forfeited once you pause.

Putting your service on hold is a great way to avoid cancellation fees and skip the hassle of having to reinstall equipment later. Here is everything you need to know about how DISH Pause works:

➜ Choose your timeframe: You can schedule your pause for a 3, 6, or 9-month period.

➜ Total flexibility: Plans changed? No problem. If those timeframes aren't a perfect fit, you can end your pause early and restart your service at any time.

➜ Keep your Netflix: If you use Netflix through DISH, you will be given the choice to keep your Netflix service active even while your main TV service is paused.

➜ How to get started: To put your account on pause for the first time, you will need to give us a quick call at 1-800-333-3474. If you have used DISH Pause before, you can easily manage your pause status and return dates online, or you can message me! u/DishDanielle!

If you want to review the details, manage an existing pause, or restart your service online, you can check out the official support page right here:

Get Ready to make channel surfing even easier? Thanks to Google Assistant, you can now use your voice to control your DISH TV with no complicated buttons required! Whether you prefer speaking into your remote or giving commands hands-free with a Google Home device, this simple guide will walk you through setting everything up and show you all the cool things you can do.

Step 1: Get Ready

• You can use your voice remote (54-series or 50.0) to access Google Assistant if you have a Hopper, Joey, or Wally receiver that is connected to the internet.

Step 2: Set Up Your Receiver

• You must agree to the Terms and Conditions that appear during the setup process.

How to Use Your Voice Remote

1. Press and hold the MICROPHONE button on your remote.
2. Speak your command naturally (for example, say "Tune to ESPN" or "Open Netflix").

Helpful Things You Can Ask Your Remote To Do

• Find TV Shows and Movies: Search by name, actor, genre, sports team, or year.

Hands-Free Control with Google Home (No Remote Needed!)

You can use a Google Home speaker to control your DISH receiver without needing your remote.

Setup Notes:

• Your Google Home device must stay plugged into a power outlet at all times.
• If you have multiple receivers (like a Hopper in the living room and a Joey in the kitchen), give them simple names (example: "Kitchen Joey") so your Google Home knows exactly which one to control.
• The "off" command only powers down the DISH receiver; your TV will need special settings (HDMI-CEC) to turn off with this command.

How to Give a Hands-Free Command

1. Say the wake phrase: "OK Google" or "Hey Google".
2. Tell it what to do and mention DISH.
   1. Example: "OK Google, change the channel to ESPN on DISH."
   2. Example: "Hey Google, record 'Walking Dead' on The Man Cave."
   3. Example: "OK Google, pause Nancy's Wally."

Things You Can Ask Google Home To Do

• Control volume (Hopper only).

Hello reddit community! DishDanielle here!

Keeping your personal info safe from scams and fraud is more important than ever. To manage your online security preferences, you'll just need an active MyDISH account. Whether you prefer to handle your services on the web or over the phone, we want to make sure you know exactly how to spot the red flags and lock down your information. Here is a deep dive into the best ways to protect your account.

1. Proactive steps to protect your account
Set up a unique password
Avoid using the same password across multiple sites. A great trick is using a strong base password (like PB&J2eat) and adding the website name to the end (example: PB&J2eatdish).

Add PIN verification
Call us at 800-333-DISH (800-333-3474) to add PIN verification to your account. This prompts anyone calling in to provide your security code, blocking unauthorized access. Avoid common PINs like 1234 or repeating numbers.

Keep your email updated
Make sure your email is current at mydish.com/myprofile so you receive instant alerts anytime your account info changes.

Log out fully
If you use a shared or public computer, simply closing the window isn't enough. Always log out and clear your browser history.

2. How to recognize a scam
Requests for unusual payment methods
DISH will never require you to pay using prepaid cards, gift cards, or wire services like Western Union or Green Dot. We also never require paying 6 to 12 months in advance.

Unsolicited calls asking for info
Scammers can "spoof" our caller ID to make it look like DISH is calling. Please know that DISH will never call you to ask for your account number, security code, or receiver number.

Suspicious emails
Official DISH emails will almost always come from dish@dishemail.com and replies go to feedback@dishemail.com. Always hover over hyperlinks before clicking to ensure they lead to a legitimate site. If the address looks off, don't click it.

High-pressure tactics
Be wary of callers who create a false sense of urgency like threatening immediate cancellation to trick you into sharing details.

3. What to do if you suspect fraud
If an offer sounds too good to be true or a caller makes you uncomfortable, hang up immediately and call DISH directly at 800-333-DISH (800-333-3474).

If you believe your personal information has been compromised, you can report it to the FTC at consumer.gov/idtheft and contact the major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) to protect your identity.

Reminder to please do not share your Dish account information on reddit.

Ultimately, your vigilance is the first and best line of defense against scams. By implementing proactive steps like setting a strong password and PIN verification, and by knowing the red flags of fraud, you can keep your account secure. Remember that the DISH team is always committed to protecting your information. If you ever have any doubt, don't hesitate to hang up and call us directly. We're here to help.
