DISH Remote Access - First on iPad

DISH Network kind had an epiphany today and realized that they had made some news. It turns out that DISH Remote Access, the free application that DISH Network customers can use to watch live and DVR'ed TV on smart phones, tablets and laptops, is the first app available for the iPad that facilitates this type of service. Basically, any DISH Network customer who has a broadband-connected, Sling-enabled device like the Sling Adapter or a DISH Network ViP 722k or 922 receiver can check out live TV or the contents of their DVR on the iPad.

But you can do more than just watch live TV remotely on the iPad, the DISH Remote Access app also lets DISH customers channel surf and search for new shows 9 days ahead of the actual programming. So now you can whip out your iPad or iPhone to set your DVR, record shows, manage your programs, or even use your device like a fully-functioning remote control.

The new DISH Remote Access app for the iPad is free from iTunes. For more information about DISH Remote Access, visit www.dish.com/tveverywhere.
