Setting up sling adapter on my hopper

[vivithemage]

So I plugged it in, what else is there to do? It is on the network already, and I can program from the dish website, but how do I let me iphone app know I can view DVR/shows? When I click watch on my iphone it says yes or no to view information about getting a sling adapter.

Is the red light on the sling adapter? Make sure that internet is connected and reset the Hopper.

There is a red light on the sling. What do you mean 'reset' the hopper?

On the front of the Hopper there will be a red reset button. You can press this or unplug the Hopper for 15 seconds.

That doesn't wipe it or anything does it? Just redetects stuff?

 

[MattG@DISH]

It doesn't wipe anything. It is similar to resetting a computer.

Ahh, so you mean rebooting...resetting sounds bad to me.

<--- works in IT.

The red light would not come on when the sling was attached to the Hopper in my living room. When I moved it to the Hopper in my computer room, it came on right away and I was able to access the Hopper right away without any reset.
