New Dish 922 Spec Sheet

If you look at the 922 spec sheet it shows the 21.0 remote instead of the touch pad remote.

I bet the dropping of the touch pad remote set them back on the UI stuff.

I'm glad that they are back to the standard format remote. I "touchtype" my commands without looking. I can't see that happening with a touchscreen. However, It might make an interesting option for some.

Very wise decision on getting rid of touch remote and it is not a shocker that they chose to do this.

In the document it says the 922 remote (32.0) uses new "two-way RF technology called UHF-2G for TV1 and TV2".

Same here.. it would be just like buying a smartphone without a physical keyboard for me.

I like laying up in bed with remote #2 and the remote in hand...never raise up the hand, or point it, and I know exactly where the 30 second skip button is at.

The way I read it is that the new remote is IR for only the AUX devices. The 922 looks like it only accepts UHF. That's a bummer for Harmony users. But someone will come out with an IR to UHF converter I'd wager.

I'm pretty surt it is supposed to work with IR eventually.

wasnt one of the big features of the 922 to push HD to 2 separate TVs?

I'm not too sure about your hunch. At any rate, until the 922 accepts IR I won't be getting one.

No the big feature was built in Slingbox.
