Here ya go...
Okay, now that is sweet, I was part of the beta for the slingbox side...but never saw this grid for some reason..
...any idea when the iPhone app will get approved? :?

Is that in response to my message about using DISH Remote Access Login ? The menus on these bundled receivers are essentially the same. The original poster mentioned going through a dish account stite to get to the dish.sling.com site, which obviously a bundled customer can't. But I think he can go throught the sling.com site. Not sure, but it might be worth trying.
That's just it... when you bundle service through a phone company, you don't have a "dish account" ... I mean you actually DO and I've written my dish account number down, but if you try to use that account number on Dish's web site it comes up as invalid... even though I GOT that number from dish tech support and it LOOKS like a valid dish account number. It starts with 1 number (or 2) that signify it's bundled and then you can't do anything on Dish directly.
This LOOKS like it's going to work.... so far... I have the right equipment, it let me create an account easy enough, but I got to the point where it asks for the R00 number from a receiver and I had to bail 'cause I'm at work and don't have a way to get that number right now.
It would be very cool if I can use it this way.
I have the same problem when I log in on this page (DISH Remote Access- DISH Network) it just takes me to my "Account Information" page.
OK - just realized that you have to click the "Dish Remote Access" link on the left side of the page under "My Account" to get it.

Must be your last day at work!dang it... I don't have my R00 numbers here at work
I'll have to try this later from home... and then... what's the point?
Congrats on your retirement...

I'm very close.... very close.... but keeping my mouth shut so nobody knows HOW close.
This topic of this thread is just another copy of the same software that has been available since January on dish.sling.com. If you login to the sling-guide via your dish network account, it will show you the same kind of stuff as the beta guide, but it doesn't have all the settings that were made if you already had a login through dish.sling.com. It's basially a 2nd method to access your DVR using the same technology, but indepentent logins and settings. (At least that's what I'm seeing).
I'd love it if they would make a setting to sort shows by 'star' ratings. Because I get like 200 shows in a search for movies and would like to see the top rated shows first in the list instead of sorting through the crappy ones.
This is my 700th post!

My dad just retired after 33 years with the same employer. He's much less stressed now.I'm very close.... very close.... but keeping my mouth shut so nobody knows HOW close.
Enjoy the remote DVR scheduling when you get a chance, it's the best.
I used it last night, instead of my normal receiver interface, because I have my internet connection through my LCD tv and I was amazed how much nicer the graphic interface is to use on the web-site instead of the receiver - especially when searching for upcoming movies that I want to record. You can sort, filter and get HD only. All the options are great.
No, my point is, you can't set this up from work (without a real Sling box). You have to be *at* your receiver to do all of the necessary steps.
Ahh ok. I know someone whom lives in wheatfield and they have Frontier too I believe. If not, some other little phone company. I ditched the landline at home, and in fact we just switch over to TWC Business phone here at work and are saving about $350 a month for the same service.
Will the router and HomePlug adaptor give the receiver full access to DishONLINE
content downloads?
Thanks to you and Brad, I think I have this working. I was able to figure out which receiver was which by looking at the previously recorded programs.
The sling web pages are still buggy as hell, though. You can't save a nickname unless you also check the Default checkbox. And then you can't do more than one receiver without first exiting the Preferences tab entirely, and going back in again. Otherwise it throws errors.
I keep having this same problem. It just keeps looping back to the original sign on page. Did you ever get yours to work?
All is working well with my ViP722.
As was mentioned a few times earlier, my wife would love this as she uses a ViP211 with the EHD.
Anyone know if the feature is coming to this receiver any time s!sadroll!sadrolln?

When I first tried it, from my acct. page, I selected the graphic with two boxes connected by the net near the bottom left & got the same behavior. But on the main acct. page, there's just a text "Dish Remote Access" in the list over on the left. This worked for me.
Sweet....just set a recording (from my home desktop about 8 meters away from my 722). Can see it in the guide on the "real" tv now...this will be handy.
I noticed that there are two links once you sign on your main account page. The first link is in your account section on the left, the 2nd one is under "NEW ON DISH NETWORK" - dont try this one because it apparently does not authenticate you properly.
Use the "Dish Remote Access" link under the "My Account" Section - give that a try?
