Dish Remote Access

[Ray_Clum]

I'm hoping that someone from Dish Technical Support or Sling Technical Support reads this. When will the DRA app for iPhone be fixed for iOS5? I am getting sick and tired of not being able to use the Sling Adapter to the fullness of its ability - being only able to watch LiveTV and being kicked off when/if a DVR timer kicks in absolutely sucks. Not being able to access my DVRed recordings sucks. Not being able to set DVR timers sucks. This is a great concept, but come on guys, the execution is junior high-ish...

Have you recently updated the DISH Remote Access app? A new version was recently released and it works great on my iPhone 4s and iPad2. Also what receiver do you have? There is not away to get away from getting kicked off if a DVR timer fires unless you setup your recordings to record off of TV1.

I'm currently running Version 2.5.7 / 1.0.29 and am paired with a ViP722 receiver. I understand that the DVR will change the channel when a timer kicks off, but when the app worked properly, I could over-ride the recording and watch live TV if I wanted. I can't do that now, nor can I access my DVR recordings.
