Several other aspects have come into play over the past few years, thanks to both providers having upped service features and equipment. It has become the norm that people in a household will watch TV on their portable devices as well as on the living room TV.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><a style=\"color: #333399;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DirecTV\u2019s mobile streaming service<\/a><\/span><\/strong> is called DirecTV Everywhere, and Dish\u2019s is called Dish Anywhere. Each has its own pros and cons, which we will be looking at here based on technical capabilities and content.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Technical Capabilities<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Both services have apps that allow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/dish-to-venture-into-video-streaming-services\/\">streaming programs<\/a> and content to your mobile device, and are compatible with iOS, Android, and Kindle tablets and smartphones. This means the option to watch TV on a laptop or desktop by visiting the content website. For each, you need an internet connection for Live content viewing, which can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/why-dish-is-a-really-good-sat-tv-choice\/\">a satellite internet connection<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Dish subscribers would need to get the whole-home HD DVR box which the service offers \u2013 Hopper \u2013 in order to be able to use Dish Anywhere. DirecTV users don\u2019t have this requirement.<\/p>\n<p>Every DirecTV subscriber gets the option for up to five simultaneous users watching content online, or through the apps. Dish, meanwhile, allows 16 simultaneous viewings online, with Dish Anywhere letting mobile users watch content while on the go, but again, the sub must have Hopper 3 installed for this. It is important to note that these apps and browser sites will only be for viewing and playback, and no recording is possible on your computer, console or mobile device the same way as with DirecTV\u2019s Genie.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_480\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-480\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-480\" class=\"wp-image-480 size-medium\" title=\"DirecTV Everywhere\" src=\"http:\/\/thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Dish-Network-Packages-3-e1461330821960-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"Dish Network Packages\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Dish-Network-Packages-3-e1461330821960-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Dish-Network-Packages-3-e1461330821960.jpg 546w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-480\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>DirecTV Channels<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The apps will also be able to remotely record and schedule recordings for upcoming shows on the DVRs.
