Dish Anywhere.com Beta

The reciever nicknames show up for me on Dish Anywhere. Are they still showing up on Dish Online accurately or maybe dish online shows HPR2000 right now as well.

Just logged out and back in on dishanywhere.com and Hopper "Kevin" shows up but Hopper "Russ" still displays as HPR2000 so I went over to dishonline.com to see how they appear there and they are named correctly and not showing up as HPR2000.

I played around with my sling adapters for a few minutes since I have one on each Hopper and this is what I noticed.

At DishOnline.com Hopper "Russ" was named correctly and slinged without a problem where at DishAnywhere.com where Hopper "Russ" displayed as HPR2000 I kept getting the prompt to purchase or connect a sling adapter.

Hopper "Kevin" name displayed fine at DishAnywhere.com after logging back in and I was able to sling just fine from that receiver.

Yesterday, when I was trying to sling I was getting this same error/prompt at DishAnywhere.com from both Hoppers when the names displayed as HPR2000.

I would bet that if the site and receiver have a connection issue or difficulty connecting with each other, that the receiver model appears instead of the nickname. Logging out and back in appears to have fixed the handshake between DishAnywhere and Kevin, since the name appeared correctly and was able to Sling.

The Sling component for Chrome STILL has the same bug for dual monitors where the mouse automatically disappears even though you can use the other screen. Bug has been there forever - don't know why Dish can't fix this.

Another thing I noticed with this site - CPU utilization for the Chrome app is off the charts.

Running a quad core i7 CPU - when watching my Hopper in HD, the extension uses 60%

That sounds waaay too high
