DISH Remote Access streams live TV on Android

A new application from DISH Network that promises to bring “TV everywhere” has popped up in the Android Market. The DISH Remote Access app streams practically anything available on your home network, including episodes stored in DVR, local news, and live sports. You’ll never miss a moment if you have a compatible device.
Remote Access also acts as a DVR manager, allowing subscribers to schedule recordings directly from their device. They can also adjust recording settings, search the program guide, or use a cell phone as a remote. It should also be compatible with new tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
There are a few caveats to using DISH Remote Access, the most obvious being a DISH subscriber. There’s also a requirement that subscribers have a ViP 922 DVR, ViP 722, or ViP722k with Sling Adapter accessory. The app works on most Android versions and is available for free in the Android Market.
Install this app

















Any word on this for DirectTV?
Apparently Dish bought Slingbox, so it may be a while for Direct to catch-up.
KK. Seriously. Direct better get this. That is an awesome idea. Would actually make me consider switching given how much tome I spend watching stuff on my phone…
Doesn't work on my Evo
I have Droid Eris (VZW) with the 722K and the Sling adaptor. I am not able to watch any of my recorded DVR programs thru my Droid. When I click to watch a DVR program I only get live broadcast TV. I have heard of others complaining that the app is garbage. Anyone else getting the DVR programs to view on their ANndroid phone?
Does work on my tablet
I have the Sling Adapter hooked up to my VIP722k receiver with app on my Android and I haven't had any problems with it. I've had it since it first came out since I work with DISH and have been a long time subscriber. Sling Adapter is only $99 for DISH Network customers and all apps are free to download. I really love it and I am very happy to bring all my favorite shows with me on the go!
When I try to download the Dish anywhere app from google.play it says that it is not compatible my device, any suggestions?
