If one has direct tv or Dish, is there any way to stream the satellite feed direct to your laptop rather than the TV, if, for example, one wanted to watch TV on the laptop outside, without incurring a data charge?
I think both DISH and DirecTV have methods, but I'm only familiar with DISH's. DISH uses Sling technology which is available for the 722 receiver and the Hopper.
I have two Hoppers with Sling and can view recorded and live programs from either of my Hoppers wirelessly on my iPad. Also, a complete program guide can be displayed on my iPad so I can view or record any live show.
In order for the system to work, my Hopper and iPad must both be connected to a WiFi hotspot, and the
DISH Anywhere App installed on my iPad (or an iPhone or Android).
When programs are streamed from a Hopper to an iPad,
no broadband data is used.
