The Demand For The Dish Network TV Is Everywhere
While a Dish Network competitor was announcing news about their latest 3D product earlier this year at a Consumer Electronics Show, the Dish Network was busy introducing their own product with TV Everywhere. The latest innovation from the satellite TV company is designed to give subscribers access to their Dish Network content anytime and anywhere.
TV Everywhere from Dish Network will allow customers to not only access content recorded on their DVR, but also watch live TV from a variety of devices. Dish Network is using 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.
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, remotely from any internet connected device such as a laptop or mobile phone. Pricing for new and existing Dish Network customers is still up in the air, so stay tuned if this is of interest.
So will TV Everywhere be the big hit of 2010? Or will there 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.
