More and more streaming FAST channels on DISH

[syphix]

Today, DISH added 9 more streaming FAST channels (090-01 thru 090-11). With all these streaming additions in the 90’s, I’m hoping Hoppers will be able to record them at some point. Live TV buffering is there, with pause, rewind, etc. so how far behind can scheduling a recording? Even if it is limited to just one stream recording at a time…

One can wish…

They are working on making them recordable.

I’ll be patient then. 😉 Loving some of these channels (NOST, Combat War, Wonder, Documentary+ are good!).

I've been hearing that for a while. Is that one of those "Soon" things. Sarcasm aside, that would be a really good feature.

So what are the issues with making them recordable?

Maybe rights issues.

But I can record content from FAST Channels on my Tablo, so from a technological standpoint, no reason they should not be able to do so.

They are not satellite signals. They need to record the IP stream which I am told is a lot different then recording the satellite stream.

Free Streaming TV Channels.

Have you ever tried Pluto TV, those are FAST channels.

I believe it’s Free Ad Supported Television.

Hate the name FAST and what it stands for, tells people nothing about them only available streaming.

Thanks for defining what FAST channels are as one would have to wonder what SLOW channels are...

Shouldn’t Listen Or Watch

Ahh for some people that would be CNN and for others it would be Fox News. Lol!

Are these streaming channels available to everybody regardless of the package we have?
I assume they should be since they come with ads.

The Wally has built in ethernet and needs no "internet adapter" so not sure what you're asking about. If you mean the AirTV adapter that has nothing to do with the internet connection, that's for OTA TV via an antenna.

That is fine if you have an ethernet connection available but if not you need wifi and there is an adapter for that for the Wally.
