Using Apps on Your Hopper
USING APPS ON YOUR HOPPER
To use apps on your TV, press the MENU button and select the Apps tile from the MAIN
MENU screen. You can order additional channels, check the news and weather, and even
play games. Make sure you connect your Hopper to broadband Internet to access all the
features of your apps. You can enjoy this feature on one TV at a time.
Apps are software applications bringing you the best of the Web to your TV that you can
run right on your broadband Internet–connected Hopper. These include news, sports,
music, weather and game apps. And you can even follow and share with friends on
Twitter®.
Note also that you can use The Weather Channel app by selecting its tile directly on the
MAIN MENU screen.
MY ACCOUNT/CUSTOMER SUPPORT
An important feature of your Hopper is the My Account tile. It provides convenient access
to your DISH account to add programming, review your statement, pay your bill, and more.
Attach an active telephone line or broadband Internet connection to your DISH receiver to
ensure access to this feature.
Press the MENU button on your remote control and then select My Account.
