S10ZR2, I see your issue already. I am going to post the "Requirements" here so you can see the issue with HD streaming. I know you are on the same network, but you are accessing an external website to see the feed that was "Slung" (is that right term?). For those of you with similar issues, see here if you can find the "wrench in the gear" so to speak (this information, though formatted differently, is available on the the DN website):

If you are not sure of their broadband speed check out the
dish.com/getconnected site to run the DISH Network Connectivity Test Tool, or you can contact your ISP provider.
--EDIT-- IMHO, USE Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test from a computer connected to your network the same way the receiver is to get the most detailed information. Once on that page, simply click "Begin Test". It will give you latency, download, and upload speeds that will help in troubleshooting or determining network capability.
Also, check for firewall issues if you have an issue connecting. Bridging the modem and router has also been known to help with connectivity issues. Also, remember that barely meeting the specs can still lead to intermittent issues, so be mindful of other things that may use the network at the same time.
