ENGLEWOOD, Colo.
– Jan. 6, 2011 – DISH Network L.L.C., today announced that DISH Remote Access, the free application that gives DISH Network customers the ability to watch their
live and recorded TV on compatible smartphones, tablets and laptops, is now optimized for the higher-pixel Android™ tablet screens.
DISH Network customers with a broadband-connected, Sling-enabled™ device such as the Sling Adapter™ – a small
placeshifting device that pairs with DISH Network’s ViP® 722 or 722k HD DVRs – can enjoy live and recorded TV viewing on Android tablets.

“DISH Network is the only pay-TV provider to offer a true TV everywhere solution, and now we’ve optimized
that experience for the larger screen size of the Android tablets,” said DISH Network Chief Marketing Officer Ira Bahr. “Now Dish Network customers can enjoy their TV Everywhere experience on tablets

like the Galaxy Tab, as well as the dozens of new Android-based tablet devices soon to be introduced.”
In addition to TV viewing, the DISH Remote Access app also gives DISH Network customers with compatible DVRs the ability to browse and search up to nine days of programming,
schedule DVR recordings, manage conflicts, delete shows on multiple receivers, and transform the Android tablet into a fully-functioning remote control.

The DISH Remote Access app for Android tablets can be downloaded for free through the
Android Market. DISH Remote Access is also available on compatible iPad, iPhone®, iPod touch®, Android mobile phones and Blackberry®
devices.

I'm sorry, could you point me to the product that DIRECTV sells that allows me to watch all the content (including live TV) on my HD-DVR from anywhere in the US?

Directv doesnt sell one, but anyone with any service can basically do this with Sling.

Anyone have DRA running on a cheap tablet? Which one? I downloaded it onto the Android 2.1 Coby MID7015 that I bought specifically to use the DRA app. I rooted it, loaded marketplace, and installed it. It tries to start, but it won't run. Too bad, it outputs 1080P via HDMI.
