It sounds very similar to Verizon's FIOS service, which I hear is awesome.

Good luck with the U-Verse DVR...

I'm interested in hearing more about watching DVR shows on my iPhone. Anyone know if Sling is smart enough to stream a show across 3G or would it be a WiFi only option?

Yes, they list that as a capability. I hope they ran that by AT&T, though.

I just watched the video at
Sling Media - SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone (Coming Soon)

That shows the iPhone connected to WiFi.

Hopefully AT&T won't have a problem with 3G streaming from Slingbox. Certainly a ton of youtube is already being streamed. Having access to my DVR library would be tremendous!

(Now if it access the external storage hooked to my DVR as well...)

If it works with E*, I'd be happy! (Hey. I remember the 811 and 921.)

I Sling to my ATT Windows smartphone via 3G. I see no reason why they would have a problem with their other 3G phones doing it.

FIOS is awesome. U-Verse is not.

That has got to be a mistake.

Why. That sounds like the typical lease upgrade fee for an "advanced" receiver. I believe 722's had the same new sub upgrade fee when they were first released.

It looks like I'm gonna be down for 2 of these puppies when they come out, and I sign up as a new sub. (I've been gone long enough to qualify as a new sub. So, I got that goin' for me...which is nice.)

This video i just uploaded of a 922 review at CES by G4 shows the Iphone playing the sling media and it's a good video to watch.
check out what G4 had to say besides drooling over it
They discuss the remote stuff too and an HD tablet that will be used with the 922 w/ sling to use around the house, nice!

I didn't use youtube because G4 will delete it for copyright in no time so it's on clipser.com

just watch the video
