DISH Network L.L.C., America’s fastest growing pay-TV provider, today introduced
TV Everywhere — a unique suite of integrated products designed to maximize
the convenience and ease of watching TV anytime and anywhere.
"DISH Network is proud to introduce the first and only comprehensive solution
for consumers to pay once for content and then remain connected to their TV
everywhere," said Ira Bahr, Chief Marketing Officer for DISH Network. "DISH
Network customers will be able to enjoy their favorite live and recorded shows
throughout their home and on the go, using the same program guide, menu and
navigation they are familiar with on their home TV."
TV Everywhere from DISH Network provides customers with access to all
their live and recorded programming on a laptop, mobile device, or anywhere in
the home wirelessly. Key components of TV Everywhere include the TV
Everywhere Adapter; the award-winning ViP 922; the new DISH Network WiFi HD
Monitor; and the newly-released DISH Remote Access App.
Add TV Everywhere with the TV Everywhere Adapter — the World’s
Smallest Slingbox
Developed in partnership with EchoStar Technologies L.L.C. and its affiliate
Sling Media, Inc., the TV Everywhere Adapter adds Slingbox technology to
existing DISH Network HD DVR receivers such as the ViP 722k. The TV
Everywhere Adapter is a sleek, ultra-slim device that easily connects to
compatible set-top boxes via a single USB cable, removing the need for
additional wires or a separate power supply. Once activated, the TV Everywhere
Adapter provides DISH Network customers with the freedom to watch their favorite
TV programming anytime and anywhere on laptops and mobile phones.
Watch Your TV Everywhere with the Award-Winning ViP 922
DISH Network’s award-winning HD DuoDVR ViP 922 with TV Everywhere,
the world’s only DVR with built-in Slingbox technology, allows customers to
watch and control their favorite programs anytime and anywhere on their laptop
or mobile device. The ViP 922 features a 1 TB hard drive with up to 1,000 hours
of recording time — the largest hard drive in the industry.
Enjoy TV Everywhere in Your Home with the DISH Network WiFi Monitor
The DISH Network WiFi Monitor, a lightweight, portable, high-definition
monitor developed by Sling Media, is the only free-standing monitor available
today that can wirelessly transmit an HD video signal from a set-top box to
anywhere in the home via a WiFi network. Designed as a companion product to the
TV Everywhere Adapter and the ViP 922, the WiFi Monitor offers a 16 x 9
widescreen format that displays 720p HD quality and controls all features of a
connected DISH Network HD DVR receiver, including viewing live TV as well as
viewing and managing DVR recordings.
Manage Your TV Everywhere with the DISH Remote Access Mobile
App
DISH Network continues to lead the industry in offering fully-featured remote
DVR scheduling technology. The DISH Remote Access App, compatible with most SD
and HD DISH DVR receivers, is the first and only app that offers satellite TV
customers complete control of their TV everywhere. Users can set and delete
timers on multiple receivers; browse and search nine days of shows; and manage
their DVR library by setting recording priorities, resolving recording conflicts
and deleting programs they have already watched. An added bonus, the DISH Remote
Access App also includes a unique feature that transforms an iPhone or iPod
touch into a remote control for televisions connected to compatible DISH
Network receivers. Customers without an iPhone or iPod touch can still enjoy all
DISH Remote Access benefits through the web browser on their PC or mobile
device.
The DISH Remote Access App is now available for free for both the iPhone and
iPod touch and can be downloaded from the App Store. DISH Network expects to
launch the TV Everywhere Adapter, the ViP 922 and the WiFi Monitor in the
second quarter of 2010.
DISH Network will provide demonstrations of all TV Everywhere products at
the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Jan. 7-10. DISH Network’s booth,
#9021, is located at the front of the Central Hall.
