I see what's on my DVRs as usual.
Neither! All 3 show a button labeled "Slingbox/Receiver Settings." When clicking on a button, I see a greyed out overlay window saying "No Slingbox." Indeed I have none. One surprise on this screen is the addition of a little green TV1 box next to my 722. If that were to allow me to select TV2 instead, I would be delighted.
My "no Slingbox" is no longer there and the DVR tab worked when it was. Are you still using the old page to access the system. The page that states it is going away soon? When I went to the new page and signed up is when my problems began. It was then that my "NoSlingbox" went missing.
One can only hope this is all because they are about to switch to something much better. A little advance notice would have been nice.
Hopefully that is the case, but they still have no excuse for breaking what was already working. Do they even have any sort of quality assurance department, or is that our function here at SatelliteGuys?
After over a week remote access to my 622 has started working again. We'll see how long it lasts.

I click on the DISH Remote Access line. I see nothing about a page that's going away soon.
Congratulations! Probably all you guys and gals have DHCP on your internet accounts, and Dish didn't update their servers for a few weeks.
I've had a static IP for over 5 years.

Sorry Krell,
Good hypothesis but I don't think that's what caused the problem. I just checked my DynDNS logs and I've had the same dynamic IP assigned from the cable company for the past 3 months. My cable company issues a dynamic IP with a lease time of 24 hours. So even if you reboot your modem or have a power failure, if your modem and router MAC reconnects within 24 hours you keep the same external IP address resulting, for all intents and purposes, as a static IP.
I just think you may have been lucky.
So why do I always get this on the Dish Network page:

This is the ONLY message I ever get when I try to go to the remote access page. I've tried this every couple of days for a month. I have done the DishCOMM set-up.

Finally. I've been annoyed with this problem for the past couple of weeks. I finally checked Sat Guys today to see if anyone else was having the same problem. And wouldn't you know it... it started working again. Both my receivers are accessible.
Both my 722k and my 622 working now too! Neither worked last night. They must've fixed something.
Remote access is now back online for me as well from both my PC and my Palm Pre. Now if only I could figure out how to always get my DVR to recognize the programs/movies I have stored on my external hard drive!
