Just checking to see if anyone has been using the Ipad Slingplayer app with the Echostar? Does it work?
Thanks.

Thanks - just to double check - you were using an Ipad with the app and an Echostar at the home end?
The Slingbox site infers that Echostar isn't supported hence me checking.!
Thanks.
Sorry, away at the gadget show live so not been able to check forum.
Yes I have the iPad app and the echo star is in my front room connected to the network.
The echostar PVR requires a good uplink speed.

Thanks W - hope the show is great.
I'm really confused.
On http://www.myechostar.com/Features.aspx#record is says that you have to use the mobile version not ipad version - which is still usable on the ipad. Elsewhere I've also read that the ipad app on ipad doesn't wrok but the iphone version on ipad does.
I wish I knew how to get it to work!

Thanks. Thought so. Shame they haven't made the ipad version work which is the version I bought .....
look into it but apparently the iPad version of the sling app is rubbish and you might as well use the iPhone version on the iPad (so you can use both devices without paying twice)
The plot thickens.
I've grumbled and complained and received a support note telling me (or to be accurate impolying) it's only the iphone version - but "someone" has been accessing my Echostar and it's been reset to Freesat Home and the app has been updated a couple of days ago and now the ipad app seems to be working. Haven't tried it away from base yet.
