Just announced at CEDIA in San Diego...Dish AnywhereHere is the press releaseNever again will your client be limited to local news in a distant market or a hotel movie library. With DISH Anywhere® customers get live sports, breaking news and their entire DVR collection plus On Demand titles. And Dish Anywhere® is now available on the Amazon Fire TV Stick – your clients simply insert a small device into their in-room display, connect to hotel Internet and launch the DISH Anywhere app. Within seconds they are transported back to their sofa at home, with access to the TV content they really want, complete with a guide they know and all the local live channels they view at home.

Been using this all summer.Only drawback I see is our SIL ties up our only box when he is up to cut the grass. A reality I can surely live with.

Here's a big drawback: it does not work with 211k receivers which are needed with the Tailgators. I used to be able to watch missed episodes on my home computer. I can no longer do that because the new software will not load. I am not trying to watch anything on my dvr or live shows anywhere, just past episodes, which I think means On Demand.

Hopper w/Sling and Hopper 3 are what i know of off the top of my head. All the On Demand stuff requires an internet connection also.

Then you don't use any (or very little) broadband data.However, when they're on different WiFi networks then you had better have an Unlimited data plan.

For over a year now I have not been able to do that. I complained to Dish & they gave me a 6 month discount.
