    Dish just called me -- Free sling adapter?

    Yes, I received the offer too. I had one slingbox and one sling adapter. The slingbox stopped working with the apps a few months ago (but I still used slingbox.com to view tv and my dvr). I did contact them at that time and I was told that this was no longer supported. Not pleased at that...

    DISHONLINE ISSUES

    Remember, there could be a firewall setup on your router managing traffic - blocking the sling port, for example. That would block it regardless of the machine used.

    DISHONLINE ISSUES

    Thanks TG2 - lots of good information. Have me wondering about your last comment - about the cache (and we don't really know what is happening behind the scenes). That makes sense, if they've changed how the application uses the cache, or how the cache is setup/refreshed - that could lead to...

    DISHONLINE ISSUES

    Interesting discussion folks. I too have had various problems similar to these recently. The new sling adapter works fine every time. The sling box has issues with Dish Online and most of the time I can not access the DVR (same problem with IPhone app). Although it works through slingbox.com...

    Have free Platinum, can't sign up for BB by mail

    Has anyone come across this combination? I pay the $10 for Platinum, but I have the 30th anniv. Starz for free. I can't add BB Movie Pass (greyed out). CSR said I should be able to register. They sent me off - being researched. Just wondering if anyone fell into this category, too?

    Dish sneaky PPV tactics? - DVR goes to PPV order screen by itself!

    You're right - it was a few weeks ago - but it was the ZERO key (not #) - so since there is no channel zero, it goes to the closest - channel one. Yes - lock PPV - so there it is no accidental order. Too easy without it.

    Dish sneaky PPV tactics? - DVR goes to PPV order screen by itself!

    I've noticed that - then I realized when I grabbed the remote, if I accidentally pressed the * key - it selected channel 1 - and was looking for my order pin.
