Why DA only streams instead of from our Hoppers?

[DishSubLA]

OK, why does the Dish Anywhere offer so MANY live STREAMS of channels (without trick-play) from the guide instead of the few channels that we can still access from our Hoppers at our home with full trick-play. Yes, I know that I can select RECORD from withing DA to then leave the live stream to watch the show from my Hopper with all the glorious trick-play, but I really want to know why Dish designed the new DA this way. The only theory I can come up with is that the streamed channels are proabably more reliable for those with lousy home WiFi networks or a lousy, slow internet connection at home, but the experience of no skip back/forward, pause, etc. seems a pointless (and frustrating) experience for viewing within DA. Does anyone know "the TRUTH?" of why it is .

I hear ya. Anywhere is no where near the real attached Slingbox. You can do anything with it as if you were at home including EHD capability.

Yes, and the Slingboxes I have are Superior in reliability of streaming than either DA or the even WORSE TiVo (Mini) Streaming feature--not to be confused with the new TiVo Stream internet streaming device. On the day our Slingboxes die by order of Mr. Ergen himself, I shall wear all black with British Top-hat and veils with long coat tails (essentially re-enact the funeral scene for the squashed toad from The League of Gentlemen) because it will be a sad, sad day that such a solid, reliable and capable Slingbox will be buried for the DA that in its latest version seems to have now hidden the settings for the Closed Captions to my liking. I dread the day of eternal peace for the Slingbox that I still use and did so just TODAY.
