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. I want to watch the past episodes I missed on my home computer via the internet. I think Dish now calls that 'on demand' that has to go through dishanywhere, but I may be wrong. 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?
Dish On-Demand programming does require an Internet connection at the receiver, but I don't recall it ever requiring the Dish Anywhere app. I no longer have a 211 though, just Hoppers and Joeys, so if they've taken the on-demand feature away from the 211 series receivers, I'm not aware of it. Do you have an Internet connection for your 211?
