Getting Your Satellite Television Where You Need It
When one Dish Network competitor was announcing news about their new 3D product earlier this year at a Consumer Electronics Show, the Dish Network was introducing their own exciting product with TV Everywhere. The latest innovation from the satellite television company is designed to give customers access to their Dish Network content at all time from everywhere.
TV Everywhere from Dish Network will allow their subscribers to watch their normal live TV programs from several locations but also to watch their recorded shows from any location. Dish Network is using state of the art technology developed by their sister corporation, Echostar Technologies and its affiliate Sling Media to push “TV Everywhere” into homes across America. Several different options will be available to Dish subscribers which will give them additional access to live and recorded television programming.
Remote access to your Dish Network content will be available through several devices, all designed to transmit programming to the device you want to watch TV on. Among the technology used will be the new Dish HD DuoDVR ViP922, the TV Everywhere Adapter, the Dish Remote Access Mobile App, and the new Dish Network WiFi monitor. Lets see how these integrate with your satellite TV package.
Also the much anticipated ViP922 DVR will finally be available in the second quarter of 2010 according to Dish Network. This “Sling Loaded” device will allow you to access your TV like the original Slingbox, you can also access your TV through any internet connected device such as a laptop or mobile phone. The prices for new and existing Dish Network customers is still no known, so stay tuned for this interest.
The questions on everyone’s mind is will TV Everywhere be the big hit of 2010? Or could there possibly be another roll out of 3DTV efforts be the big draw for television subscribers. It will certainly be another interesting year as satellite TV companies continue to slug it out in an effort to gain and retain subscribers.
