Thanks Bob. I do have the VIP622; got it as soon as it became available. Maybe I’ll take a wireless adapter I have and connect it via Ethernet to the receiver to see what options I have today. My Slingbox is hooked up to another TV used for OTA HD only, so I don’t use it to remotely access my Dish setup.

If you have a Dish Network VIP622 or VIP722 receiver you CAN have remote scheduling with Dish Network, as long as you have an ethernet cable plugged into your receiver as they also have a beta project for this now to tie into their Slingbox integration that is coming in the Spring with their new 922 receiver. Meanwhile, those with the 622/722 receivers can have the service now.

Remote scheduling, detailed guide info of upcoming shows, as well as detailed info on your recordings are all available over the web…

You can sign up for the Beta at http://www.dish.sling.com. You’ll get an email back that will have you enter in your receiver ID info and then you are set…..

I’ve got an external slingbox hooked up to mine, so I actually was able to do this from my office, but if you don’t, you may have to do it from your house to set things up as you need a code that pops up on the screen on your receiver to complete the registration into the beta…. It sounds like just about everyone who wanted in has gotten in according to http://www.Satelliteguys.us

DirecTV has offered this feature for a while now. I was pretty excited when they announced it a few months ago, and initially used it quite often. But eventually my remote program recording died down as I found I was recording more than I would ever watch! Having had this service available, and used it, I don’t think I would change providers simply because of this feature.
