5 Ways DISH Entertains Traveling Families Better Than the Rest

Written in partnership with Dish. It’s no surprise that these days, entertainment can follow you to the ends of the earth. This is a blessing for traveling with kids on planes (especially long haul flights), trains, road trips, and then some. I can’t even fathom traveling without device-related entertainment in tow.

To our family, how we access digital entertainment matters. Our devices are constantly at memory limits and it’s really difficult to download a new movie on a whim over WiFi. This is why I’m going to tell you about how DISH offers the best way to stay easily connected and entertained while on the road.

Fact: It’s the only TV provider that gives you access to 100% of your live and recorded content anywhere. Here’s how.

1. It Starts with the Hopper 3 Smart DVR

The Hopper 3 Smart DVR is the world’s most powerful DVR and the hub of your family’s entertainment at home and on the go. It has built in apps, like Netflix, that can turn any TV into a smart TV!

The Hopper 3 Smart DVR is… pretty smart. Hit a button on the DVR and it will show you where that lost remote is. And, it has a voice remote that you can talk to when using old-fashioned buttons to change channels feels a bit much. This smart DVR can also skip all the commercials in primetime recordings automatically, if you like, so that you only watch what you want to. Forget family conflict as DISH allows household members to watch and/or record up to 16 shows at once and recording capacity is a whopping 2000 hours.

Have a sports fan at home? The DVR’s Multiview capability will allow him or her to watch up to four channels at once.

And, it gets better.

2. Shows and Movies Anywhere with Hopper GO

3. Watch TV Anywhere on an Tablet, Laptop or Phone

Yes, it’s also possible to watch live sports, breaking news, your entire DVR collection and thousands of OnDemand titles outside of the home with DISH Anywhere. You can record shows to your home DVR though DISH Anywhere, too, for a little extra convenience.

This means that the kids can access their favorite Disney show where it would otherwise not be available (an issue we run into when traveling). And, you won’t miss an NBA basketball game when traveling in the U.K.

4. Entertainment Delivered to up to Five Devices

Up to five devices can use the same Hopper GO. And, as just mentioned above, DISH Anywhere can also be used on up to five devices, too. This is worth mentioning again because not everyone wants to watch shows on the same device or watch the same shows as the rest of the family.

5. Offerings Outpace the Competition

Wondering how your current cable or satellite TV company compares? DISH has ready-made comparisons so that you can see what you’re getting (or not).
