Dish music channels via listen


Recommended Posts

I had a major upgrade back a year ago that put all of my AV distribution for our home in one central location. At this time we also made the switch to dish from directv at the recommendation of our dealer due to better c4 integration. I will say I am happy with the switch. 

I do have one issue though.  Wondering if anyone has a solution. We like to have streaming music in the house without having our TVs running. The one source we use the most is typically our satellite tv music service.  To access this we would typically go to listen / music stations and then use our set up audio only satellite stations buttons to tune to the appropriate channel.  But for some reason this is not working. We can access it fine under the watch/ dish channels, but this turns on the TV. Rather not have to turn off the tv every time we turn to another music channel.

Any idea why when we set up audio only station icons in composer that they do not work to tune the dish hopper in listen mode. Wondering if it’s a programming bug?  Any insight would be great.

as the channels are considering a video service it will want to turn on the tv and only be accessible on the watch menu. You could use an experience button as a work around but not a elegant. could also program the tv to be powered off on a button press

Are your music channels setup in your system as music stations, with the audio only box checked??

Yes, we have set them up as audio only channels and they show up in the music stations button, but they will not tune the dish receiver at all.  Only way they work is when they are in watch mode and audio only not selected.

This is what I was thinking.  Probably going to try some simple when then programming.
