[Satellite TODAY 05-22-13] DISH has announced enhancements to its DISH Anywhere mobile app, including access to On Demand programming on Android (4.0 and higher) and Apple iOS (5.0 and higher) mobile devices. The update also includes DISH Anywhere integration with Twitter and Facebook giving consumers the ability to share their viewing experiences in real time. 

 

    To meet the growing trend of customers taking their TV shows on the go, DISH expanded access of its On Demand library to include iPhone and Android phones and tablets, a feature previously available only on the iPad. On Demand access offers viewers thousands of titles from a variety of networks that can be watched anywhere with an Internet connection.

 

    Additionally, DISH Anywhere users can take advantage of the new “Audio Only” mode, allowing them to listen to any live or pre-recorded show while doing other activities like driving or interacting with other apps on their device.

 

    Existing viewing features of the DISH Anywhere mobile app include the ability to watch live TV channels in a user’s programming package via Sling technology, access their personal DVR and view up to eight days of network programming via PrimeTime Anytime. DISH Anywhere DVR management features include the ability to search for programs via the guide or use keywords, schedule recordings from the app, manage recording conflicts and delete recorded shows.
