"Sadly, Dishworld is CrapWorld on Mac OS, shockingly horrible performance.
I have over 8MB down internet connection on a late 2012 MacBook, yet if I simply try to load a simple text web page, Dishworld quality adjusts to blurry garbage. The app is so poorly conceived that it can't handle any other app drawing even minimal system resources. Not to mention their highest resolution is still not really HD, more like 480p. I can load multiple bootleg true HD streams (i.e. UStream) while multitasking on my computer with absolutely no performance hit. So why a commercial app with a development team behind it can't manage the same or better is inexcusable.
The interface also has poor design, difficult to navigate, even worse than ESPN's app, which has similar problems. It tends to hang on quitting as well. Clearly, they just don't give a crap about their customers.
I purchased the product for the sole reason of having a reliable BEIN Sports stream for FC Barcelona games without locking into a ridiculous 2-year contract with a cable/satellite provider. However, If the Barça game is not the primary game (i.e. Real Madrid playing the same time slot), it is pushed to the 2nd BEIN Sports channel, which displays in letterbox (over half the screen black) and Spanish feed. Again, inexcusable.
I'm happy to pay for watching the programming *I* choose to watch delivered with a solid platform. Unfortunately, DishWorld isn't that platform, far from it. From reading Yelp reviews, sounds like I'll now have the pleasure of dealing with cancelling with their "stellar" customer service."
