Sling just introduced “SlingGuide” which works with Dish DVRs. Echostar owns both companies and now their products are working together. After you hook up your Dish DVR to a broadband connection, you can access your DVR through the web using SlingGuide for free. You can see live programming, schedule recordings, and find new shows.
Sling touts the ability to find new movies and shows by doing searches of the actors. The SlingGuide has a list of favorites which you can search.
If the DVR is “SlingLoaded” or connected to Slingbox, you can watch video through your SlingMedia software like you normally could. This also works with iPhone or iPod touch and turns these Apple products into a super-remote with the ability to view a program guide along with regular remote control functions.
This was a long time coming. This could make Dish seem like a more attractive option to those who want things to work well.
