Unable to stream most video services on the Dish Network. I understand it’s because of the Amazon integration, but can’t believe this isn’t talked about more. Can’t access FuboTV, Hulu, or Disney+.
Yea this is the issue with using amazon web services, the streaming services automatically assume it’s a VPN and just straight up block all of amazon’s IP blocks.
It sucks. I’m getting around it by using a VPN hosted at home (residential connection). Streaming apps shouldn’t flag it as the IP is not a common VPN service.
Contact the impacted streaming services and let them know you’re being falsely flagged. As Dish grows this issue will likely take care of itself.
What are you using to stream?
You login to the apps with wifi and then after your logged in it will work fine. We are having aws issues with it it’s not us we been trying route that traffic thru Microsoft cloud we are in process of working it out
With Disney+ I would have to chat with a representative who would “refresh” my ip. But it would only work for a few episodes then stop working. Hulu wouldn’t/couldn’t get my service to work either. Ended up canceling (they were bundled together). Netflix and Amazon Prime Video work flawlessly- most of the time. I feel your pain, though
For anyone still following along, I did reach out to Dish. They are aware of the issue and have no timeline for a solution.
Try changing ssid name. Solved the problem for me. Also I’ve been told that apps like nord VPN can work around the issue.
Can you guys stream Disney+ now?
Do you work for Dish? Any update?
Interesting. Thank you, we are working to fix this.
It was funny the other day…. I had a VPN going to access Disney plus. I then tried Amazon Prime Video and it recognized the VPN and blocked me. After disconnecting the VPN, Amazon worked again but Disney plus stopped working.
Yes, actually. It’s working for every app mention in post. I am roaming on AT&T so not the best use case to test but it is working. I feel like in the past in didn’t work regardless if I was on Dish or AT&T. Maybe another kind Reddit can verify with native coverage.
Will the hotspot have this same issue and is Dish aware of it?
Great to hear. We are still working on fixing Hulu and Starz… should have a fix soon!
Can confirm, the hotspot has the same issue. I can’t access those either from my hotspot.
Any update? Still seems Disney+ is blocked
Is it just those three streaming services?
I was able to stream Netflix, but it was only in 1080i.
