Thanks, I did not know about the Fire Stick. I have never used one before but it does sound simpler. I understand it plugs into the HDMI of the Smart TV. Do you then have to run from that small devise to a power plug? Or does it have a built in battery?
Another option is if you have internet and a smart tv you can access the Dish Anywhere app and watch via your receiver at home. It has to be run on a phone or tablet but you may be able to project to the smart tv from your devise. You can also access Dish Anywhere from a browser on a smart tv. But all if dependent on if you have decent speed internet.
