TV Everywhere” is the moniker given to a new initiative by subscription-based TV services (cable, satellite, and telco). The idea is that when you’re away from home and your set top box, you can “call in” over the Internet to watch the programming you could have watched if you were home. Think of it as a Slingbox application that doesn’t commandeer your home TV. Comcast was one of the first to launch, and now another company has stepped up: Rogers Communications. Now, that may not be a familiar name for most of us in the U.S. That’s because it’s a Canadian cable company.

The Rogers On Demand Online Web site launched in beta mode last November, but now has had its official rollout. One difference between this and other TV Everywhere projects is that Rogers does not require that you be a subscriber to use the site. You do need to be a subscriber to access exclusive content, including the coverage of live sporting events and concerts. The only catch is that in order to access the streaming video on the site, you have to be in Canada.

Sounds like they are ahead of the U.S. when it comes to TV Everywhere. :roll:

    Hi Joe here and as a DISH Network employee, just browsing the web and noticed this article and I would definitely have to say that with the DISH Remote Access and the Sling Adapter has given consumers more TV freedom than ever before. Watch any subscribed program on the go with any laptop or Smartphone. I would highly recommend customers to try this app or even trying out the Sling Adapter.
