Secondary Accounts for DishAnywhere.com?

Can you create secondary accounts for members of your household to use DishAnywhere.com or VOD services from Showtime Anytime, HBO Go, Max Go?

You can not set up a second account, but you can have 5 active logins on the account at any given time. For the live streaming and DVR playback that would be limited to one person doing that at a time, but on demand content can have 5 active at once.

Thanks for the clarification. I've been sharing my login with one member of my household and I wasn't sure if that was exactly kosher seeing as it's mobile and the ip addresses would show up differently.

I knew about the restrictions to sling but as it's a two hopper household we both should be able to sling from each hopper individually.(with HWS or Adapters of course) Currently, I'm debating on waiting for my last Hopper to die off, (since I have two dead Sling Adapters, and the thought of paying $60 for something that potentially will not last a year turns me off from buying another) wait until the next time I can do an upgrade for free (should be november 2015 if it's yearly) or paying the upgrade fee to upgrade my last hopper to a HWS.

You are correct, with 2 sling capable receiver you can sling two at the same time. We can always check upgrade eligibility for you at any time.

This is definitely something that needs to be corrected. The fact that I need to share my main account login with members of my family is just wrong.

I agree, there should be a secondary password for Dish Anywhere so that you don't give family complete access to your DISH account.
