Dish expanding offline DVR viewing to iOS, Android apps Nov 13th 2013, 20:31, by Jared Newman TV junkies can soon get their fix from an airplane or in the middle of nowhere using Dish Network's iOS and Android apps. An update to the Dish Anywhere mobile app will integrate Transfers functionality, letting users store DVR shows for offline viewing. The Transfers feature was previously a standalone app for the iPad only. Transferring DVR content requires some jumping through hoops. Users must first pair the phone or tablet with a Dish Hopper TV box, then use the television to select which shows to send over. Once the user sends a show to a phone or tablet, it stops being available on the television's DVR. Users then have 30 days to watch before the content expires, unless they re-launch the app on their local Wi-Fi network. Still, if you can remember to transfer some DVR content before you leave home, it could be a useful way to catch up on movies or shows during a long flight. As with before, the Dish Anywhere app also lets you watch live, recorded, and on-demand television with an Internet connection.
