I am able to get in on my BB Bold 9000 too. So all my avenues into my slingbox seem to be working for the first time since this outage began.
Are you having Sling / DISH Remote Access Issues

100% true. Outsourced, overseas tech support and the bollocks to charge you $50 to use it.
Way to screw up a great thing yet again, Dish. Maybe you can file a lawsuit
Just an update... for the last few hours everything has been working great! I hope I didn't jinx things. 
Don't get why we are blaming Dish for this all. Echostar bought Sling, didn't they? Echostar is a separate company from Dish & has different CEO's. Blame Echostar.
Echostar or DISH ,doesn't matter since Charlie Ergen owns both and is ceo of both. Blame Charlie instead.
2 hrs ago I couldn't get on Dish Remote except that it came up blank. Now all 3 receivers are online. I think the upgrade snafu is fixed at last! Does anybody know if they rolled back to their old servers?

I've been having lots of trouble here as well. I have a 722 with stand alone slingbox pro hd. Desktop player has been hanging at the log in. Same with browser based viewing...
Thanks for the thread, Scott!!! I can stop troubleshooting my setup now.
I spent hours resetting, reinstalling, cursing... and they're deleting threads about the issue. Not impressed with sling....:rant:

:rant:I am having major problems loging in and remote viewing.
In addtition I have had problems helping customers sign up online for Free Hd for Life.
Slow nonresponsive web site, so called errors in customers info causing customers having to re-enter info up to 4 times just to sign up for FHDFL.
Dish is having issues that much is for sure.

If your still not in try rebooting your Slingbox at home... a number of people on the Sling forum are reporting success after the reboots were complete.
I rebooted my 922, tried multiple browsers on multiple computers on multiple OS, still can't watch TV over the web. I can use set record functions and set the DVR to show something on the TV; But all of the buttons that used to be there that said stuff like "Watch Live TV Over the Web" or "Watch on Web" are missing. No options for watching online anywhere.
Is this different from the problem others are having? I know some people can't log in at all and are having different issues. I don't know if this matches the problems directly related to the 922 or not. I would really like to get this working again.

I found the same thing happening today. It seems that Dish Remote Access on the Dishnetwork sight is just that now, only remote access, and not for slinging. So, just for haha's I decided to try slingbox.com and surprise, I was able to watch live and recorded TV there. It recognized the 922 where it didn't before. Now I'm curious if the latest version of the stand-alone windows (or Mac) app will finally recognize it, but I haven't tried. Has anyone?
Anyway, hope this helps
That's strange. I tried to login at slingbox.com and it recognized me and my account, but told me that I could only access my Vip922 by logging on to Dish Network.com and going the "Remote Access" route. Strange.
I finally got through on Remote Access, with full access to both of my 722s at 11:40 PM EDT tonight. Sure would be nice if it will now actually be reliable again. I had used it every night to set up overnight movie recordings, and really missed it during the long outage.
Did this last night, and can access sling for the first time in over a week.
However, I still can't get remote access to work.
Remote access seems to be working reliably now on both the Mac and iPad. I've had to log out of the app and back in occasionally to get DVR'ed programs to show up, but, in general, things seem to be working.
UPDATE: Watch Live TV is now back on the dish website and seems to work fine. I Can still view live and dvr on slingbox site as well.
