Dish iPad app not working

[stimpson]

Here in the last couple of weeks my Dish iPad app has has been screwing up. It started after updating the iPad to 6.0, and is still doing it with 6.0.1. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Sometimes that works, but most of the time if doesn't. The iPhone app still works great. Anyone else experiencing this?

I have seen that as well. I've escalated this to dish and its being looked into.

Thanks. It's strange. On mine it doesn't do it all the time.

I was having a similar issue with the app initializing but telling my my receiver wasn't online. I had the Hopper connected trough an ethernet switch. When I wired it direct, it started working again. Are you using an ethernet switch with your receiver?

The issue is that the app is popping messages it shouldn't. On mine its said initializing, logging in, logging out, unable to load play list etc. I can use it on my phone and dishonline.com with no issues. This seems to be an issue with the iPad app itself, for me anyways.

My iPad app was doing the "loading receivers" thing last night but this morning it's fine. The iPad is still on 5.1.1. iPhone app on 6.0.1 does seem a tad more reliable though. Overall the whole Dish Online/Sling experience no matter the platform feels pretty beta to me. Doesn't seem like they'll ever get it right. It's awesome when it works right though (about 75% of the time.) When I'm on the PC dish.sling.com is far better for the Sling experience than Dish Online IMO.

Got yours working now, stimpson?

Yes sir. Its working now, and has for the past few days. Maybe S230 fixed it. Not sure though. To answer your earlier question, I use a HIC.
