Dish Launches App That Syncs Music on DVR-Connected TVs, Play-Fi Speakers

Dish Network launched Dish Music, a mobile app that allows music from TV audio systems and DTS Play-Fi speakers to be in sync when playing throughout a home, said a Thursday company announcement. Via the app, TV audio systems connected to Dish Hopper 2 or Hopper 3 DVRs and Play-Fi speakers can play music from streaming music services and personal libraries stored on mobile devices, turning connected Hoppers into music-streaming zones controllable from Android or iOS smartphones and tablets, Dish said. Customers can sync the same music across rooms or play different content in each zone, it said. TVs display the metadata for the music, including artists, song name and music service. Music services available with Dish Music include Amazon Music, Deezer, iHeartRadio, Napster, Pandora, SiriusXM and Tidal.
