I work for DISH Network and just got DISH’s TV Everywhere with the Sling Adaptor and now my Android phone not only allows me to set my DVR from anywhere, but I can watch both live and DVR recordings from anywhere. Comcast is hoping to have this ability near the end of 2011.

A Slingbox with the SlingPlayer Mobile app will let you not only control your DVR remotely, but WATCH IT REMOTELY.

I wouldn’t be so fast to jump on the Fios boat. We had itand ended up switching back to Comcast. From the freezing screens on the tv to the stations that where constantly unavailable it was ridiculous. Then there was the wireless router that was locked down so that you couldn’t secure it properly. This would be the same router that has a website devoted to giving wardrivers your wep key. The same wep key on your neighbors router no less. Ans thats right. I said wep. In two years of having it, my phone, provided by the phone company worked once. Never again. After the fourth service call I gave up. They finally sold the service in our area to some company called Frontier. They reduced the level of service within a month and wanted to charge the same. Ya right. I took a chance on Xfinity which we have in our area now and everything just seems to work. Our phone sounds food. TV never freezes and they gave us a router that can actually be secured. Customer service has been fine and the installer took the time needed to show my wife how everthing worked, unlike the Fios installer who obviously left without even doing a proper installation. Good on Comcast. I will be happy to see that app though. It was the one thing on Fios that seemed to work before we lost it in the Frontier sale.

The people who use comcast are the people who know how to break through the decoy plans that they offer, and talk their way into the good deals that are un-advertised.

It’d be nice if Comcast would give me this feature to begin with!

People still use comcast when $65 (roughly 40%) of their bill is paid by their association :)

Happy Fios subscriber (with DVR controls on my smartphones for the past 2 years)

Nice idea. Sometimes I just dont want to work with comcast’s clunky dvr interface.

I currently use this app on my iphone (Yes i have an Iphone. I’m waiting for my contract to run out in 2 months) and it works great. I constaly am checking email and setting up recordings on multiple DVR’s. Yes I said multiple. It will let you switch between more then one dvr in your house. You can also set your home phone to forward to a diffrent number right from the app. I give comcast credit for making a great app. Now if there service was as good.
