    Thanks for sharing these apps! I’ve been away on business
    for my job at Dish during most of the Games, and have missed a lot of action so
    far, so it’s great to know there are so many ways to watch right from my phone.
    Right now, I’ve just been using my Dish Remote Access app, since (with my Sling
    Adapter at home) it lets me watch everything, live or recorded, on my phone
    anywhere I go in the world. I had some downtime in my hotel room a while back,
    and actually got to see Michael Phelps win one of his gold medals, live on my
    phone. It was pretty cool, and something I’m happy I didn’t miss! :)
