Slingloaded HD DVR922 at CES

[DWS44]

I have to disagree...this is basically a 622 on steriods with a slingbox jammed into it, a better GUI, and a few really cool new features. I get the feeling this is one box that could actually materialize by the summer. On the other hand, I seriously doubt E* will be ready to "test" their tru2way cable version in the spring.

I really hope you are right. Guess I've just learned with E* to temper my excitement.

According to the SlingGuide press release, the 622, 722, 722k and 922 will be supported. I presume this means that they'll support scheduling but viewing will require the 922 or one of the above plus a Slingbox.

For remote viewing, yes.

That said, where DishOnline fits into the whole picture remains unclear. Perhaps strictly as the portal for their broadband content?

It is history. The SlingGuide should be able to do them all.

I find it amusing that "sling guide" is promoted as revolutionary technology when Tivo has had online scheduling for years.

So I guess the SlingGuide is replacing what was thier online DVR scheduling? I was in that first beta awhile back and that thing was awful Anyway, it still says on
Dish Online - DISH Network Entertainment, Streaming Video Exclusives, Movies, TV and More!

"Coming Soon: Schedule Events on your Reciever" Maybe they should change that to "SlingGuide: The best thing since sliced bread!"

Me wanty now!

SlingGuide is a lot more than just online DVR scheduling.

Seconded. I certainly hope the references to "selected" internet content and "IP" sources will include this.

Yeah, I am not buying the notion that a remote without numbers or a directional pad is a good idea... I hope that a universal remote with numbers and a directional pad will function with this... like my Harmony One
