I get that in order to USE Google Assistant with Dish, I would need to “pair” my Hooper 3 with my iPhone(s), etc.. And since we don’t use Google Assistant, Alexa, Siri, etc. on any of our iPhones, Macs, etc.. that won’t happen.
But it is not so clear whether there will be a connection between my Hopper 3 and Google (or Amazon) even if if I do not actually USE Google Assistant (or Alexa). Clearly Dish Anywhere knows a lot about my Hopper 3, including its IP address, DRV Recordings, Timers, etc. How much, if any of this data does Dish share with Google or Amazon?
I’m not trying to start a conspiracy theory or suggest that Google or Amazon are snooping on Dish Subscriber’s viewing habits/preferences. I’m just curious whether Dish has made any statement about sharing subscriber data with Google / Amazon as part of their business relationships.
