We would like to think that long trips are exciting. In truth they are pretty darn boring. Throw a couple of kids into the equation and you're looking at a really long trip.

Make time fly on those really long trips with The DISH Hopper with Sling, the newest generation of the Whole-Home DVR system. Now you can enjoy your favorite live and recorded television anywhere on Internet-connected tablets, smartphones and PCs.

Sling technology allows you to encode and redirect a live or recorded television signal from the Hopper to Internet-connected iOS and Android devices. Use Sling to watch DVR recorded shows stored on Hopper's hard drive whether you're at home or on the go.

Whether you're flying or riding in car, you can enjoy your favorite series even without an Internet connection. Use the free Hopper Transfers app to move recorded television programs to your iPad or tablet.

With the Hopper with Sling, you can easily turn your home TV in to a media hub with multi-player game apps and the ability to "fling" photos, videos and music from your mobile device to your television.
