Dish network, right now, is working on making it possible for you to manage your dvr from your computer. You can't copy files due to copyright restrictions, but you could add shows to your dvr, delete others and possibly even start one playing. The problem is that dish online, right now, is not accessible, at least with window-eyes. Haven't tried it with jfw yet. We need to write to dish network or echostar and tell them that this would be a really good move if their guide page was accessible and if their blind users could manage their dvr's. They are currently in a testing phase on dishonline.com; However, that page is so inaccessible, that you can't even find the feedback button, The models 622 and 722 both have network capabilities. One can connect a Ethernet cable or use a homeplug AC adapter to transfer via the electrical outlets in your home. We need to start a movement and convince echo star that with a little work, they can make this completely accessible to their blind customers. Echostar acquired slingbox last month. They now have a package for connecting your slingbox to your dvr. This allows you to watch programs on your dvr from any pc. You can watch programs on your dvr in aany hotel or any place where you can get internet access. The problem is that the software mimics the dish remote allowing you to play items or add new ones you forgot to add when you were home. Unfortunately, with thisgraphical interface, This is not accessible. Yet another thing to see if we can get them to realize and work on.
