First Rumor of 2009 - 922 Screenshot?

No... unless you buy one of the new Sling Monitors they showed at CES. That monitor will get HD from the 922.

If this is the only way to get HD to another TV, then Dish is foolish.

How many customers will buy a monitor from Dish/Sling compared to the market that already own a second HD TV and would buy a sling catcher device that would work wireless, or with ethernet?

NONE.



If DISH had made the 922 be able to do hd on another tv in your house it would of been truely a great receiver. As usual they are just looking for another way to get you to buy something else: the monitor. Shortsighted as usual. I really have no reason to want this 922 except for the 1080p part and the sling guide and new interface. They could of downloaded this to my existing dvr ,except the 1080p part.

I was hoping that it would be able to sling HD video and stereo audio to a sling catcher that I could hook up to my second TV.

I was on the phone with a CSR deactivating a 722 (because it died) and I told the guy I was just going to wait until the next gen receivers came out, and he started telling me about the 922. I was shocked. He actually spoke about "vaporware"!!! I told him that I always buy my receivers, and I've owned the whole line from the 4000, 5000 up through the 921's, 942's , 721s, 622s and 722, and probably a few others in between.

He said that the 922 would be a "good one", and it should be out "shortly".

Hmmmm
