    Great video! I’ve heard a ton of
    good things about that Delta app, and am ready to give it a try. I work at DISH and a coworker of mine
    recently took a trip to Washington D.C. and she used it and Genius Pack the
    whole time, and loved them. Another
    favorite app of mine for use during travel right now is DISH Anywhere. It lets me watch live AND recorded shows off my home
    receiver, using just my iPad, no matter where in the world I am. As long as I
    get a 3G or wifi connection, I’m good to go! It’s perfect for killing time
    while I wait to board my plane.
