Dish TV Comcast internet

I hope this posts. I cancelled my Dish home appointment. I figured it out thanks to a great talk with a really nice patient Tech. No on demand but settings said I was connected.
After going through everything with a great phone tech I looked at my Comcast app I just installed and saw it was paused.
Didn’t think that would matter but apparently it worked. I have Comcast internet and Dish TV,
No on demand or apps on tv couldn’t use. If you have an app from Comcast don’t pause it! That’ was my problem. Love Dish TV internet was too slow so that’s why I have both. Yay
Dish guys ??

Sounds like me a couple weeks ago. My wife asked why On Demand didn't work. After boggling my head, I gave up. Then when I installed the Snap, I realized that although the ethernet line was connected to the Hopper, I unplugged it from the router.

Yeah well I’m a working musician so if I wanna watch something when I get home on demand or YouTube, it better be there and open. My blood pressure must have been sky high lol.

I'm curious what the pause function on the Comcast app does. Does it turn off your Internet service?

I had to look it up myself. In the Xfi app there is a programmable setting to pause at a specific time then back on. Our household is me and my better half. We wouldn’t benefit as we’ve never come close to our usage limits. Also if we were away on a trip wouldn’t be able to access Dishanywhere. I didn’t see a manual pause listed in the app description.
