    Dish Remote Access

    works now! I just went to the Dish remote access, where it had shown my receiver was offline, now takes me to the Dish Sling page. I guess they got the R01 receiver thing figured out now... I could get to the Sling site before but not through my Dish account page.

    DISH Remote Access

    If it's a newer receiver with an R01#, you don't see the 2 or 3 menu but it is there. Press 2 to nickname and 3 to activate. Very strange in the way it works but it eventually does work.

    What is the best way to hook my internet connection up to my VIP722 HD DVR receiver??

    I agree, I picked up a 24 port switch for a few bucks on EB, plugged it in the router, and ran cat5 ready made cables to the 722 and 222, save $10/mo. If you can get the RG6 cables to the box you can get a cat5 there too....
