    packages, order pay-per-view, check tech appointment status and more
  • Language defaults to Spanish or English based on user’s phone settings

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, DISH announced that it is the first major pay-TV provider to
launch a Spanish-language customer service app, with easy access to a
variety of account-related services from a smartphone or tablet. The
announcement comes as DishLATINO also unveils a new Spanish-language
user interface for the Hopper DVR, Joey and Wally set-top boxes.

“With an estimated 71 percent of US Hispanics accessing the Internet via
smartphones, apps are a crucial part of the customer service
experience,” said Alfredo Rodriguez, vice president of DishLATINO. “With
MyDISH, customers can access the services they want, in the language
they prefer, without having to make a call.”

About the App

The MyDISH App will default to the language the user has selected in
their smartphone or tablet settings. For users whose phone settings are
set to Spanish, the app will automatically display content in Spanish.
The app puts users in control of such functions as paying bills,
enrolling in auto-pay, accessing account information, changing
programming package subscriptions, ordering pay-per-view or
video-on-demand, accessing My Tech with information about an upcoming
technician appointment and referring friends to DISH.

To help educate customers about the app, DishLATINO is launching a
series of ads featuring Eugenio Derbez, including the following video
featuring his wife, Alessandra Rosaldo: https://youtu.be/H1evYnnUGuk.

About the User Interface

The complete on-screen experience is now available in Spanish on a
Hopper, Joey or Wally set-top box. Once selected, functions such as the
menu, guide and search will all be displayed in Spanish.

“In addition to enjoying programming in both Spanish and English,
customers can control which of the two languages they use to search,
scroll and select shows,” said Rodriguez. “Today’s announcements are
part of our commitment to delivering the best entertainment and customer
service experience for our customers.”
