Hello. Effective Wednesday, 09/17/14, customers with a Hopper or Hopper w/ Sling are no longer able to access Sirius XM channels via the DISH Anywhere app or website. We are disabling this functionality to fulfill a contractual requirement with Sirius. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Hmmm...just checked and it seems this is yet another advantage of the 722/k with Sling Adapter over the Hopper(s). 
I've got a stand alone Sling Box laying around somewhere as well. I won it years ago at a Dish meeting.
Just my 2 cents I don't understand why Sirius would have a problem with dish customers playing Sirius music on their dishanywhere app. Over 60% of Sirius subscribers listen to howard stern which wasn't available with dish to begin with but they could do some good cross advertising on their music channels. "hey dishanywhere customers thanks for enjoying Sirius xm. Subscribe to Sirius xm service for even more channels including sports and howard stern" am I missing something

That would mean they would need to run special music channels for DISH.
Sirius wants you to buy their Sirius Internet service.

Doesn't this have more to do with them now having DRM added? I am not complaining, if Scott does not want to add info like DRM that is his decision. This is a case the uplink report would have shown DRM was added.
Tampa I am not sure if DRM was added or not, since at the moment its only blocked on the Hopper with Sling.
And yes Mitch that works.

Yes you are missing everything! SiriusXM is in business, foreign though it is to some they need money from subscribers to do that. They charge to listen online, why would you get it free on top of getting it from DISH? Why not just pay their online fee and listen?
That's not totally accurate. If DRM was on it would be the same way on the regular Hopper, the 622, and 722...
Unless the other receivers don't have the software to look for or honor that flag which may be possible.
It was strange this morning I opened up my Dish Anywhere and all the SXM were there, I was about to take a screenshot and the channels disappeared.

Where did you pay to listen to SiriusXM online? I'm not sure we are really paying for, or at least not much for SiriusXM from DISH let alone to listen online. Another I want it for free....
Those are alternatives, I don't happen to agree I like them as well as SirisuXM for the channels I listen to most. (Decades, Baseball, Talk)
I thought dish only did music. I stream slacker from my phone to my car radio via Bluetooth..slacker wins hands down..they do 128k streaming..blows Sirius/xm away
