Dish Goes to iPad

1 Dec, 2010 By: Chris Tribbey

Dish Network has launched an application for Apple’s iPad that gives Dish Network customers access to all their live and recorded content on the device.

The application requires a broadband-connected, Sling-enabled device, such as the Sling Adapter.

“Dish Network is the only pay-TV provider to offer a true TV everywhere solution, and now we’ve extended that experience to the iPad,” said Ira Bahr, Dish Network chief marketing officer. “Unlike mobile viewing from cable and telcos that limit access to select programs, our TV Everywhere services give consumers 24/7 access to all of their live and recorded content included with their Dish Network programming subscription.”

The Dish Remote Access app also gives customers with compatible DVRs the ability to browse up to nine days of programming, schedule recordings, delete shows on multiple receivers and turn the iPad into a remote control. The application can be downloaded for free at the iTunes App Store.
