Well I have Comcrap as my ISP and a 722k with a sling adapter. Works fine on my iPhone and iPad.
I've been meaning to cancel the protection plan. Thanks Dish for the extra incentive. Just did it a few minutes ago.
All I can say is my 722k box no longer works with dishes sling. Its apparently a known issue and a replacement box and three dirt guys couldn't get it working again. It used to work for 10 months then the 722k stopped connecting online. I've thrown in the towel and until the new software is launched for the 722k I will have to wait. It also affects ordering movies online and setting my Dvr remotely. Goodluck to you as they say at Dish.
If Hopper integration is not part of the big announcement from team summit, then I will be getting another SA.
Mine is sitting on my desk and along with the OTA adapter from my 722k that I need to get rid of.

QUOTE=3HaloODST;2858058]Don't even have to have a Hopper. 722/722K also use the Sling Adapter.
That being said, I'm enjoying my FREE Sling Adapter on my Hopper.
By the way, if you're waiting for ALL the bugs to be ironed out of Hopper, you'll be waiting a LOdNG time. Hell my 722Ks were still buggy 2 years into their lifetime. That being said, none of the bugs on the 722Ks or the Hoppers are worth "holding out" on (at least for me.) They are the best DVRs I've ever used!
I have comcast and a sling adapter and a smart phone app and it works just fine.
I have comcast and have never had a problem accessing my sling on my device or remotely on a computer.
I recently went from three receivers to two, saved seven bucks a month there and cancelled the protection plan, saving six bucks there. Seeing as I now have a spare receiver in case one of my active ones goes belly-up and if any problems occur outside on the dish end of things, I make a phone call and go for a ride to pick up replacement parts and fix the problem myself. No need for a protection plan.
I just ordered mine & should have it by Friday!
...And it works good when I can get the G*#&mn receiver to stay online! grrrrrrr.... :rant:
I can tell you first hand that one sling adapter installed at my livingroom Hopper works just fine with my bedroom Hopper also. All I have to do is select the receiver I want to watch in the dish app and it does it. No need to move the sling around. Keep in mind however that I have a HIC that allows both hoppers on the net at the same time. If you are wired to the net some other way, I cannot say with certainty that it will work like mine does.
That's interesting. Mine does show the sling attached to both, but I get "Cannot locate receiver" if I try to watch anything on the non-sling connected box. Both of my Hoppers are hardwired via ethernet. Anyone else have it working with one Sling for 2 Hoppers?
Well, I just double checked the sling access from the bedroom Hopper and now it doesn't work. It did work when 209 was on the IRDs because I used it several times but now it doesn't. Of course, half the time it doesn't work at all so your mileage may vary....
