I noticed a couple of weeks ago that there was a web activation link under Broadband so I decided to follow the instructions. Set up my account and now, although I don't have a sling box, I can control my DVR, see the upcoming grid and even see what is on my external HD. I can delete and play everything on my DVR as well as see previews of movies. Pretty cool! Overall, a much easier way to search for upcoming programs and movies to record as well as a better way to manage existing recorded content.
