The Sling indicator displayed in the upper left corner of the information banner lets the home user know when someone is accessing the DVR remotely.
We even tried to access the same pre-recorded program remotely and out of sync with the home viewer and it performed flawlessly. That's right, the person remotely accessing the DVR can watch live or pre-recorded high definition content while someone else at home is viewing his or her own program in high definition as well.
The ViP® 722 or 722K HD DuoDVR can stream content while someone else is watching something completely different on the same DVR. To be able to take advantage of the Sling adapter, the DVR must be attached to a high speed internet connection. The red LED will illuminate on the Sling adapter and a message will appear on the screen indicating the adapter has been detected. Installation is easy with the user simply connecting the Sling adapter's USB plug into the DVR. The adapter is made from metal and works as a large heatsink, pulling heat away from the electronics in the center of the unit. The Dish Sling Adapter measures just under 4-inches by 8-inches and sits just over 1/2-inch high with the rubber feet. Dish is currently offering this adapter for only $99 at their website. This includes watching either prerecorded programs or live TV. Customers can use their computer or mobile device to control and stream content on their DVR from any location that has internet access. For customers using the ViP® 722 or 722K, Dish has released the new Dish Sling Adapter, which gives them this remote access feature. This occurred with the release of the highly regarded ViP® 922, which by the way works extremely well. Parent company Echostar acquired Sling Media several years ago with the strategy of integrating the Sling (remote access) technology into the Dish Network line of DVRs.
