Youtube App?

[Brian Fuller]

If the hoppers available app selection, what ate tge odds that we will see a youtube app at some point in the future?

Youtube is nore popular then Pandora and has more daily usersthen ths rest of the apps combined it can run on almost any hardware.

It's the only major app missing from Roku, as well.

Yup. YT and slingplayer are the only things it does halfway decently. For everything else, I use roku. Dish needs to make slingplayer and dish anywhere apps for the roku.

Does the SlingPlayer app on the Revue work with the Sling Adapter?

Somehow I doubt it.

Nope....side loading, works...soon as it starts up you get the rotation lockup....

I don't see Dish offering apps that "compete" with the same service(s) they sell, i.e. videos.

Some will say that Pandora competes with Sirius, but Dish doesn't own that. The 'music' channels would be considered competition, I guess, but Dish more or less gives those channels away.

DirecTV DVRs have Youtube and have nicely integrated their search function with it. Integrated Youtube is the primary reason my Dad still has DirecTV instead of Dish. I have Youtube integrated with my windows media center cable tv system as well.

It's strange that Dish was integrated with Google TV for a while yet won't add Google-owned Youtube to their receiver. Seems like if Dish wanted people to use their box for all their entertainment needs, they'd add everything app they could to make that happen.

Or open up an SDK so that anyone can make apps and not just specific partners. It would sure be something to differentiate the Hoppers from the competition. But ya know, I don't think it has anything to do with who owns who or what kind of media content an online service puts out. It's about engineering, resources, and cost. They have different priorities.

Flash on the TVs and Mobile phones is dead. You can thank Adobe. It was a hog. Maybe on today's hardware it would be better, but it's too little to late. HTML5 is where it's at.

It's the only major app missing from Roku, as well.

Which I guess needs a hardware update in order to make it happen officially. I have no idea why. It's been promised for years.

Maybe they should award prizes and credits for the best apps and the ones chosen for the hoppa.

If you want to have access to the dish anywhere app using the sling adapter on your tv, buy yourself a cheap android mini tv stick and download the app from the play store. Works perfectly for remote viewing while I'm away from my house as long as I have a tv with a HDMI port.

That is a great idea....

But, just like most android devices you arnt sure what apps. run on it till you get it and install it...

Would be great for dish to have a complete list on which devices Dish Anywhere runs on.
