Okay, I went back through my Conversations, and I couldn't find it. So, I guess it wasn't a DIRT member who told me that, but an online chat agent instead. So, take it with a huge grain of salt.
I suppose an account with a single ViP211k would qualify, though. I am still waiting on confirmation on this from MattG, though.
So you can't use the "Outdoor TV" features in the app because you have a "home receiver" but you can and do have a home receiver on an outdoor account which, apparently, doesn't enable the outdoor TV features in the app. So, what's the point of the outdoor account?
Furthermore, I asked MattG what the procedure is for converting an existing account to a Dish Outdoors account, and I still have not gotten a reply.
Dutch has the App featured enabled with his two Hoppers, but maybe it's because he owns them.
I'm sure there's software involved in this, and as a former software developer I'm pretty certain it's not as simple as checking a box.
We seem to be getting mixed signals from Dish on the new app feature. Someone posted on another forum that they were told only folks with a "Pay-As-You-Go" Flex account currently can use the app locals feature. That does include me, so maybe there's some truth to it. They were also told that the feature would eventually be extended to all Outdoor accounts, although no time frame was given.
I spoke with several CSRs, and was told to download the "Dish App" on my smartphone. The "Dish App" did not let me manage locals, and the last CSR told me what Brussam was told. I have a Hopper 3, a Joey, and and a ViP211z. My account is flagged 'outdoor". This whole thing makes little sense to me.
Well, our PAYGO service is never shut off now, but I suppose the fact that we can apparently qualifies us for the feature.
Not all of them fortunately... The girl I met in high school and fell in love with will celebrate our 54th anniversary with me in June.

Congratulations!
When I was in high school, nearly all girls made it hard.
Matt G. from DIRT sent me this:Furthermore, I asked MattG what the procedure is for converting an existing account to a Dish Outdoors account, and I still have not gotten a reply.
"I have added this tag for you. Note that you do not subscribe to locals. If you did, and tried to change what you receive, this would be based on the location of the equipment and not an address you give."
So, apparently, if your account is not properly tagged as an Outdoor account, any DIRT member can add this tag for you. This reply may also explain why the feature is only available through the app, since it must use the GPS in your phone, as others here speculated.
Hmmm... "If you did, and tried to change what you receive, this would be based on the location of the equipment and not an address you give."
I think in reality that should actually be "based on the location of your phone and not an address you give."
That is the way I interpreted it. Otherwise, it would not make sense, since if your receivers are not connected to the internet, then Dish would have no way of knowing where the equipment is. I think in this quote, "equipment" is being used as a broader term for a phone, tablet, etc.
Yes that's one thing. I was alluding to something else also in making the distinction...
