Has anyone tried using the sling with the hopper and if so how is it coming along???

Reason I ask is I tried the dish app tonight and it didnt record the show...shows up on timers list as starting at 6pm and ending at 6 pm...if its not working with the hopper do we know when it will???
 
Yesterday I set a timer to record the remainder of a program from SA, it didn't show up in my DVR list, I was able to watch live tv, and DVR recordings.

Im also having Sling probs but my prob r watching my recordings i have 20+ recordings they all show up but i have only been able to watch 2 of them the rest give me error 6 and says reboot router or hopper this did not work. ive posted questions about this and some people say i need a Sling adapter wich is only 30 bux but if i dont have to spend this i would b happy so hopefully it is on dishs end and they fix this
 
I just installed mine a few hours ago. First USB port the red light came on but it was never detected by the hopper. I unplugged the external HDD, plugged the sling in the lower port, then plugged in the HDD and it came up this time. Tried it online, and within a few minutes seemed to be working ok and streamed via browser and Android app.
