Dish Anywhere app or site no longer streaming channels, now you need a hopper to stream them , is this a glitch or feature being phased out.

i noticed the Dish Anywhere app and site no longer has streaming on the channels that previously streamed without the need of the hopper DVR being connected, now every channel is streamed via hopper, this is a bad idea for when bad weather hits and you need the app to stream if you don't want to stream via your hopper.

is this a temporary thing possibly due to migration to a new interface or is this a permanent thing due to cost-cutting and or making people want to switch from Dish to SlingTV (also owned by Dish).

Streaming is working for me, I only have a Wally so I only have access to the streaming channels.

The program description now shows if it is Hopper Stream or Web Streaming instead of showing the Web Streaming icon in the channel name on the guide.
