How do you watch live tv on dish remote access?

To watch Live TV via Remote Access, your receiver has to be a 722, 722k, or 922. With the 722 and 722k you need a Sling Adapter connected to your receiver along with a high speed Internet connection. The 922 receiver has a Sling Box built into the receiver but still requires a high speed Internet connection. If you have the above equipment requirements, select either DISH Remote Access or DISH Online from the My Account drop down list on the DISH Network Home page then log into your DISH Network online account (if you don't have an online account you will need to set up one). Once you are logged in, you will have options for different viewing features. In the upper right hand corner of the page is a link for LIVE TV. Click on the link. If everything is connected correctly on your receiver, you can view live TV on your computer or mobile device (need to download to correct application for your device).
