Does Dish Network have a feature that allows you to see what other users are watching?
DirecTV has an “Active” button you can press to see what other system users are watching in your region (say Southwest) and the Nation. Does Dish Network offer the same function?
Actually, the button does not show what is actually being watched, only what Direct thinks is most popular. As the Satellite receiver is “Receive Only”, there is no actual way of seeing what is being watched, except for “Pay for View” channels, where the info is sent back over the phone line. However, this is only sent once a day, usually around 2:00AM.
The “Active Button” can be set to show a variety of channels/features. Weather, Lotter results, etc.
And no, Dish does not have this feature. But it would seem you could get most of it by using the “Favorites” feature.
