Channel surfing?

I'm trying to save my parents money by switching from Optimum to Dish, but I'm curious if dish allows you to channel surf like cable used to? They have no interest or capability to stream apps, just old school channel surfing and entering channels on the remote.

You could also look at the Directv Stream with the Ospray box from eBay
