Tired of Switching Inputs? How to Get Prime Video on Your Dish Joey (Without Throwing the Remote at the Wall)
Let's face it, juggling remotes and switching inputs is the technological equivalent of juggling chainsaws. It might impress your stunt double cousin, but for the rest of us, it's a recipe for frustration. Especially when you just want to unwind with some good ol' fashioned Amazon Prime Video.
Fear not, weary Dish Joey owner! There's a way to ditch the remote rodeo and seamlessly access Prime Video from the comfort of your couch. Here's how to turn your Joey into a Prime Video powerhouse (without needing a superhero cape).
But First, a Reality Check (Because We Can't All Be Bruce Wayne)

Hold on to your horses (or unicorns, whichever floats your fancy). This trick only works if you have a Hopper 3 or Hopper with Sling. The Joey itself isn't strong enough to hold the entire Amazon Prime Video universe on its own. But fear not, trusty sidekick! If you have one of those Hopper things, your Joey can piggyback on its power and stream Prime Video like a champ.
Alright, Alright, Let's Get This Party Started!

Here's the lowdown on how to unleash the Prime Video beast within your Joey:
- The Great Remote Summoning: Grab your trusty Dish remote (the one that doesn't mysteriously disappear every time you need it).
- The Button Mashing Ritual: Press the magic "MENU" button once (or the "HOME" button twice, depending on your remote's mysterious ways).
- Choosing Your Champion: Navigate your way to the "Prime Video" app. It should be there waiting for you, like a knight in shining armor (or at least a knight in comfy sweatpants).
- The Login Tango: Select the "Sign in and start watching" button. This is where your Amazon account login details come in handy (you know, the ones you use to buy all those embarrassing impulse purchases).
- Follow the Amazonian Trail: Follow the on-screen prompts to sign in to your Amazon account online at amazon.com/mytv. Yes, a little online jig is required, but trust us, it's worth it.
