Set up recording via Internet with 522?

[blockisle9]

I havent posted in awhile (I guess thats good, no problems) anyway I was talking to someone at work who just got Tivo and he was telling me how he could set up a timer from a remote location via the internet. Preaty cool!!
I was wondering if this is somthing that might be planned for the future?
Thanks

it's been suggested before but probably the only way it will ever happen is if you get a slingbox.

I hope Dish Network's MPEG-4 DVR will implement more options such as this. They have an opportunity to do what the competition is doing and perhaps more things.

A slingbox?? That I have to look up! LOL
I just Googled it, preaty cool, price isnt to bad either. I wonder if theres a monthly service?

No monthly charge from slingbox. Just buy it, set it up and your good to go!! 249 bucks is not bad to control it and watch it from anywhere with internet access

How about ReplayTV?

Yeah, maybe a ReplayTV could do it, if it has internet access, once you make it control the 522. I don't know what other internet-enabled boxes exist, just was making the point that it's not a likely upgrade from Dish so would require an external box of some sort.

That is not a bad price if it works right. I saw the some reviews and heard about the delay in changing channels and so forth. It seems like they have some work to do with their product.

I seriously doubt that we will ever see any of the receivers that we have now be able to be programmed from the internet.
