Sling adapter, Slingbox question

I have a Slingbox. Works great. I see Dish has a free "remote access", app for Apple and Android. Can you run the app on a Slingbox? Or only on a Sling adapter? The viewer for mobile devices. is around 30.00. But if the app works I would use that. Thanks.

Budda, I thought you didn't buy the $30 app? LOL The question is that if he purchases the $30 app, will it work with a Sling Adapter/VIP922 and leave the iPhone via HDMI to a TV in an RV. Your situation is a tad different. Try hooking the iPad2 up to the TV via HDMI and see if it will play it on the TV.

My thoughts is that the app only works on the standalone Slingbox, and will not work on the 'integrated' gear on DISH equipment with 100% functionality.

FYI, no 30$. Remote access app free. Ipad2 Mini HDMI to standard HDMI. Video and sound. Only minis is leaves a small boarder on picture witch I can't get ride of but is clear/ Black border.

Dish really needs to update this app to support video out. The only reason I increased my bill (to top 200) was to be eligible for the "free" sling adapter and hook it up in the family wagon. The Sling Mobile app allows it but I can't get it to work with the adapter.

Anyone know how to contact Dish about the mobile app feedback?

I have countless times used the feedback on the online screen(never hear back or problems resolved) and as for the apps. its a joke no feedback and if you contact Sling they tell you to talk to dish network! Its a cycle that goes round and round nothing fixed, and nothing adressed!!!

My son tells me that his Comcast App has the same restriction. The Comcast FAQs apparently say this restriction is intentional as otherwise it would allow viewing at another loocation without need for an additional Comcast receiver. They indicate that there is no plan to remove this restriction.

The work around for android is a $5 app. named Full HDMI its on the market place.

$6.3 billion in crypto stolen by hackers

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.

I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

The company later added it began recovering assets impacted by the breach after pledging to cover losses using its Secure Asset Fund for Users.

The "Secure Asset Fund" had about $1 billion in reserves... in Bitcoin.

The fund started in 2018, so it may take a while to make investors whole, much less replenish the fund.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne

Get it?

An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

New report states 29% of vehicles being traded in are under water

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. :eek

Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

I'm pretty sure the most you can get is seven.

What America can't afford is the payments on $80,000+ pickups and SUVs and $40,000+ crossovers.

Hopper 3 with Hopper plus internet connection problems

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
