Dish Remote Access for Blackberry - PVR Functions?

[ThomasTrain]

I downloaded the Dish Remote Access app for Blackberry and although it does work, for the life of me, I cannot figure out where the PVR functions are are made available when viewing sling content, if they even are.

The app is worthless to me if I can't use my compliment of PVR functions to skip commercials.

There's a button on the top banner of the screen that says DVR. What version did you download, what BB do you have and are you on 3G?

 

[ThomasTrain]

Sorry, I think you've misunderstood. I can view and play my DVR programs from the DVR icon provided by the app (i.e.: I can access the programs), but when actually playing the DVRed content, I have no fast forward/reverse/pause buttons or active DVR capabilities available in the app, nor seemingly via any keypress.

Note: The capabilities are provided by the Full Slingplayer for BB app and also via the DRA for Windows application in the browser.

Blackberry 9000, OS 5.0.0.822, DRA v0.1.0.11, AT&T 3G.

Hey, Thomas Faust with DISH Network here. Currently Blackberry's are in our beta testing phase for DRA so some features are not currently available. I will forward your situation to the correct department to work on it!

While you're at it, could you suggest they work on software for the 8530 also?
