Can anyone with a sling adapter oh their Hopper see their external hard drive from it? I can see it and use it just fine from the hopper but it doesn't show up when I use my computer through the sling adapter. This is my first time with the sling adapter because I had a 622 but my friend with a 722 could always see him ehd over sling.

I cant even get my Sling Adapter to work, keep getting "Error 6" tells me to restart the device or the router.
When they installed mine on Friday, the red light wouldn't come on for the Sling adapter, but when I tried tonight it worked. Did freeze up a couple of times at first, but seems to be good now.
An answer from Dish chat about the Hopper / Sling not seeing the external Drive : The Dish online will only show whats on the Internal Hard Drive.
R: That is not what it was like on the 722K and many people are complaining online about this problem
R: on the 722K i could see on my android phone the DVR the live and the external
Bradford (ID: LXE): Okay.
Bradford (ID: LXE): I am explaining how dish online works.
R: ok the dish sling app that I use on android is what I am talking about we use that on our phones and pad
Bradford (ID: LXE): It is still dish online. You can transfer those to the receiver and they will show online.
R: why is this not working like the 722K ! Is this going to be fixed ????
Bradford (ID: LXE): Ron, this is how it works. You will need to transfer them to the receiver for them to show online.
R: I don't want to tranfer 2 gig of movies to the DVR from the external
Bradford (ID: LXE): Okay.
Bradford (ID: LXE): Is there anything else I may assist you with?

Yes, I can see my EHD (now empty) and the Sling works, but I have not tried to see if I can see my EHD WHILE I use the Sling. That's my assignment for tomorrow. I guess I'm half way there.
The hopper software is based on the 922, and on the 922 the ehd was never viewable through sling. If i were to guess, this is just the way it will operate. Nothing to fix unfortunatlly.
Yes, it was visible on the 922. For some reason it's not on the hopper. It'll probably be patched in at a later date.
Never saw my EHD on the 922, I just thought that was the deal......now you got me thinking.
Update, no problem viewing Sling TV on my Android and looking at my EHD from the menu simultaneously.

That's not what they want. You are unable to view the EHD contents on the device you are slinging to.
The only thing I was slinging to was a tablet. Thanks for the clarification, I thought the issue was related to a conflict when using more than one USB device.
