Great list; thank you for sharing! I don’t think I’ve heard of any of the apps you mentioned though, so I’ll definitely have to give them a try soon. When it comes to 2012, it wasn’t the year my favorite app (DISH Remote Access) came out, but it is the year it got a few awesome updates that would make a favorite of mine this year. One of the gals I work with at DISH got me a Sling Adapter some time ago, so I use the app to watch all of my favorite shows from home, live or from off my DVR, everywhere I go in the world. I travel a lot, so it’s especially nice to have when my favorite shows are airing and I’m half way across the country! :)
