Latest Wally Update Broke Assistant

[Hotrodr]

When this new Wally update came in my assistant acted like it had never been used before and now I can't set it back up. Dish is not listed in my Home app any more and when I tell the Wally to give me an activation code for it it says it can't reach the server. I've completely uninstalled Home and set it back up and Dish is still not listed in the device section. Years ago I originally set this up through the assistant app and it worked perfect till now. My Wally is still listed in the assistant app but says it's disconnected and it can not be deleted. This happen to anyone else? Any cure?

same here on a Joey 3 and Hopper 3, wonder if this is a sign Dish is phasing it out of their DVRs.

They just did an update to the Voice Command as far as how it searches. When I log in and pull up the update, I'll give you the specifics.

Hopper Plus, Joey 4, and Wireless Joey 4 are now the only receivers with the ability to use Google Assistant.

And someone needs to update this as it would be misleading and false advertising:

Yes but remember lots of people got DISH and the 54 remotes for the Google Assistant feature which is what counts even if the URL was updated as that happened before the URL was updated which means there would be angry customers and another way for DISH to lose customers as the objective is to retain existing customers and also gain new ones, plus potential class action lawsuits.

Also, while DISH can change anything on it's own website, what it can't change are the inifinite news sources including official press releases:

i wonder if the real reason for why Dish is phasing this out for Hoppers now built with the AndroidTV based OS is the possibility of that the Hopper's Google Assistant were built on Manifest V2 based software and Manifest V2 is being phased out for Manifest V3.

Could be, who knows but all I know is for those of us on Joey 4, Wireless Joey 4 and Hopper Pluses, it can disappear soon as a feature.
