Note: they told us the Sling 700u should work with pretty much any STB with a SW upgrade to the STB as all it does is hook up to the USB port...

Nice and this will also work with the 722k? I'm referring to the sling anywhere. personally don't want anything to do w/the wifi. Best the wifi TV isn't gonna be cheap. OMG the audio was SO distorted it was hard to listen too.

[Scherrman]

So the Sling Receiver 300 will sling side 2 of the 922 in HD to a TV? That would be perfect for my bedroom TV. I've been trying to figure out how I can get Dish to there.

How big is that monitor Scott? I would love to put a 26" in my kitchen.

[dfergie]

That's a 19" Monitor.

[Scherrman]

So is that the only monitor compatible with it? Hopefully they come out with a larger one. What is the monitor picking up? Side one of the receiver or side 2?

[Scherrman]

Man, the trade floor should be an exciting place this year at Dish Summit. I can't wait to go to San Antonio.

Scott how many other tvs can access the 922 over the net. I mean say I am out of town and accessing via computer can someone at my house be accessing the 922 over the new 300 box via the network. CAn two tvs at a time in the network access it?

So...would this work with a 722 and 211 that have EHD attached to the USB port?

[dfergie]

It would work with a Directv STB with the proper SW download, was the way I understood it...(will have to dig thru my press kit )
