DISH Introduces DVR Scheduler App for iPad

ENGLEWOOD: DISH Network has unveiled the first and only app specifically designed for the iPad that allows users to control their TVs and manage their programming remotely.

DISH Remote Access for the iPad is a remote DVR schedule that provides DISH Netowrk customers with complete access to all DVR functions and features. Users can schedule recordings on multiple receivers, delete timers, browse and search nine days of shows and manage their DVR libraries by setting recording priorities and deleting programs.

The app also includes a unique feature that transforms an iPad into a remote control for televisions connected to compatible DISH Network receivers. Using the iPad as a remote control, customers can change channels, browse the program guide, start playing recorded programs and enjoy all standard remote navigation features such as fast forward, rewind and pause.

"At DISH Network, we are excited about the potential of tablet computers—like the Apple iPad—to enhance the TV viewing experience and enable consumers to remain connected to their TVs everywhere," said Vivek Khemka, the VP of customer technology for DISH Network.
