Those are all great apps, but only Crackle and Netflix are the only streaming apps and they have pretty limited selections. I use the Dish Remote Access app to stream live TV and DVR recordings wherever I go. A coworker from Dish and I like to go to the park to play chess on the weekends. Now that baseball season has started I bring my tablet so that we can watch the Rockies play while we play chess. I would place Dish Remote Access at the top of my top 5 list.
