Dish Anywhere is an app that connects your remote device to your Hopper3 or Hopper w/Sling so you can stream programs using one of the tuners or stream recorded programs from the DVR using Sling's "place shifting" technology under license from sister company Echostar.

I am NOT trying to watch on a mobile device; I don't have any. I am NOT trying to watch shows from my DVR nor do I want live shows.

This worked last year and now doesn't. Why would they make it impossible with my 211 which I need for my tailgater when they sell it?
