I received the hopper on 12/12/12 and was able to watch recorded sows on my iPad. I opened up the app tonight and now it just asks me if I want to learn about sling any time I click watch. Is this how it is supposed to be?
To watch a live show/movie from the guide in Dish Anywhere, you need a Sling Adapter. Do you have one? If not, you were definitely watching an On Demand event.
Maybe the old app I could and this app I cannot. I know the app updated recently and changed names. I swear I was watching recorded shows before though and I don't have a sling.

I bet that event you have recorded and were watching was also available in the on demand library and that's why you could view it. Both the old Dish Remote Access app and the new (rebranded) Dish Anywhere still have the on demand section, but as posted above, a Sling Adapter is needed to view live or DVR content from your receiver.

You cannot watch your dvr without having a sling, unless you have a sling loaded receiver (New Hopper, which wasn't released until 1/17/13 or 922). You can purchase a sling adaptor for a 722 or the old Hopper. It does not work with any other receiver. In your case, you were probably were watching programs from DishOnLine and from your dvr.
