Dish Network Coming to iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch

Posted by iPHi under Apple Related, Iphone News on Friday Aug 6, 2010

Dish Network subscribers will be able to stream live content to their iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch within a few months.  To be able to use the live streaming, though, subscribers will also need a SlingBox or a Dish high definition DVR with SlingBox support.  Once they have that and are connected, users will be able to stream content, change channels remotely, and watch shows that are already recorded on their SlingBox.

Without a second tuner card, users will have to watch the same channel on their TV as the one streaming to their devices.  This will definitely lead to some dispute over which channel to have Dish Network tuned to.

Since the streaming from Dish Network hasn’t officially happened yet, there’s not a lot of information to report.  I’m sure everyone will hear lots more about it the closer it gets to the time of release.
