Sling question

[Rinker97]

Got my Sling adapter yesterday. Plugged it in and got it working. At first it only came on from the front USB port but then I put it in a rear USB port and it came on so I guess I just didn't wait long enough. I used the iPhone app and played a recorded show from the DVR. Pretty cool. This morning at work I thought I would try Dish Online from a PC.

The main reason I got Sling is to use it while at my lake house and connect a cable from a laptop to my TV to watch recorded shows while down there. Anyway, I tried using Firefox and nothing ever played. I switched over to IE and I had to install a plugin. I installed it and got it all to work. While at the lake I was going to use a MacBook Pro.

I was wondering what browsers are supported to use my Sling thru Dish Online? Will it work with my MacBook Pro? I may end up getting a cheap laptop to keep at the lake house but would probably wait until Windows 8 is shipping on them.

I would try EI and Safari. I never had good luck using Foxfire with DishOnLine.

I tried it again and got it to work with Firefox. A message came up about Windows firewall blocking so I told it to unblock and then it worked. Just tried it again and the message never came up and it didn't work. I'll try Safari from home tonight.
