Change Channels with USB or Ethernet or ...?

[wassupTC]

Do any Dish HD receivers have the capability to have channels changed using USB, ethernet, or firewire?

I know that DirecTV allows control over the firewire port, but does Dish offer any similar capability? I've been looking for awhile now and haven't found any definitive answers.

Thank you in advance!

Our HD receivers do not give you the ability to change channels via USB, ethernet, or firewire. We do have an online application, when a Sling Adapter is connected to a 722/722k receiver or a 922 receiver, which has a built-in sling loaded device, that allows you to view Live TV and recorded events from the DVR receiver. The receivers have to be connected to a high speed broadband line.
