Slingloaded HD DVR922 at CES

[HDRoberts]

Thanks for the clarification. Not sure why anyone would want to record from sling.com as nothing is live broadcast there, at least at this time. But if it's possible I guess some may want to do so.

For those without ultra-fast internet connections, it might be nice to download with top quality and avoid buffering....buffering....

I just got off the phone with Dish since I need a solution for 3 HD tvs in my home. I told the CSR that I wanted to run 3 722s and she said it is not possible. I asked if there is a single box that has 2 HD outputs. She said that there is a rumor that there is one coming out in February. I asked if it was the 922 and she said she believes so.

She clearly implied that the 922 is planned to launch in February. I know, I know, that means really it will be out in February '10 but I thought I would share this interesting tidbit.

Well first it doesn't really have 2 HD outputs unless you count the little 15 inch screen that they will let you buy. Second, there is zero chance of it coming out in Feb. They haven't even got the 722k ready to go yet, let alone the 922.

The 722k was supposed to be ready last December so I figure it will be ready by March -June time frame. SO if the 922 is due in the spring , look for it by Fall of this year or at worst the winter. That is DISH's way of accounting for a new receiver introduction.

I think MikeD has the time frame about right based on past experience.
