Sure, it's not as revolutionary as the new automated ad skipping built into its DVRs, but Dish Network has also just revamped its Remote Access iPad app. While other pay-TV providers are proud about streaming channels to mobile devices only within the home or shifting a few recordings, Dish's tight Sling integration still provides the most video wherever the user might be, as well as DVR management, a full guide and remote control. The 3.0.3 upgrade brings an entirely new user interface that's optimized for the retina display, guide data without interrupting the video, favorite channels list, and claims to speed up the process of both loading various screens and connecting to stream live TV. Hit iTunes for the updated app or read the press release after the break for more details and let us know how it's working for you.

Thanks for linking to that great Engadget article on the new Dish Remote Access update. They pointed out my favorite thing about the app which is the fact that it is the only live streaming app that works outside my home. I have a coworker from Dish that I like to meet down at the park on Saturdays for a little chess and I always bring my iPad so we can watch the Rockies play live. Last weekend he told me how much he liked the look of the new interface and how he noticed the improvements in speed. I think I may have inadvertently talked him in to getting an iPad. He has Dish Remote Access on his phone but I think he is a little jealous of the iPad version.
