Sling Adapter and Dish Network

TV Everywhere

The best of both worlds when it comes to watching television.  You can pair a Sling Adapter with your Dish Network system and stream live TV and recorded shows to your iPad, iPhone or Computer. This setup works very well if you have enough upload bandwidth at your house.  In order for this to work well you should really have at least 1 Mbps upload bandwidth.  More is ideal, but 1 is sufficient. 


How much bandwidth do I have?   Check Your Speed Here


Things you will need:
  1. Dish Network Service
  2. *Vip922 or Vip722 or 722k HD DuoDVR
  3. Sling Adapter
  4. Minimum 1 Mbps Upload Bandwidth from home (you can try less, but it is not a good picture)
  5. Dish Network App (free from App Store)
*If you have the ViP922 you will not need a Sling Adapter as it is built into the Vip922.

The Sling Adapter connects via USB to either your Dish Network ViP722 or 722k HD DuoDVR.

  1. This will not replace watching TV in the house, and it's not trying to like other apps from cable companies. This app allows you to watch live TV, recorded programming, or even schedule to have something recorded from anywhere there is an internet connection. Working for DISH Network I was excited when this was released, but even I didn't think it was going to take off like it did.
