I just watched how this works on ch 103. Nice!

So, am i to assume we can get rid of the Hopper Transfer app?

I would bet that the Hopper transfers app will problably stop working shortly after they release an all in one application.

Just downloaded new version. Does not show the transferred programs that were transferred by the transfer app.

Version 5.3.1 was download to my iPhone 5S. It also has the transfer feature.

iOS programs are like Macintosh OS programs... meaning everything used by that program which is custom is stored within that programs container, meaning that shows stored in one program will not be seen by another program. Thus the new all in one app will not see the shows transferred in the old program.

That's what i figured.

Will this come to the 5 as well?

EDIT: Just now showed up in my updates!!

I'm pretty sure its just dependent on the iOS. I think the minimum for the app is iOS6.

Does the older "Hopper transfers app" work on pre-iOS6 and if so, what will users who have older iDevices ?

Apple's answer is: Buy a new device....

If I go into Dish Anywhere on my iPhone 5s it tells me a new version is available and to click ok to download it.

So I click ok and it takes me to the Dish Anywhere App in the App Store, but its not the new version and the only option is open.

I am guessing the update has not hit all of Apples servers yet.

So I opened Anywhere on my iPhone 5 and it said there's a new version available. I downloaded it, and selected a program to xfer to the iPhone. It took pretty much real time, but I'm now watching Will & Grace on my iPhone!

If they could get video by AirPlay working that would be great!

Rumor has it Android transfers will start rolling out 12/20.

I like that the new dish anywhere app will let you transfer a program more than once.

They need to make all their new apps compatible with 5.1.1 and later.

I played with the new software on my iPhone last night for a few hours, and I LOVE IT. Being able to transfer to my phone is much better then transfering to my iPad. Now if I am sitting somewhere I can just take my phone out of my pocket and enjoy.

The Close Captioning was working as well.

Very NICE upgrade.

It should go into iCloud so you could use either iDevices.
