SatelliteGuys Review: Logitech Revue with GoogleTV – A Diamond in the Rough

[redelephants]

Can anyone confirm whether Dishonline works with the lastest version of Chrome on the GTV? I am assuming that you still can't view your sling adapter via Dishonline.

you are correct

Does Dishnetwork have any plans to support Sling Adapter on Revue... Sling Box player for Revue is now available on google marketplace.

I doubt it. It would make the google box a sling extender if you could. I did the very thing using an hd pro sling BOX and paired it to my 722k . I can now watch my living room tv in the bedroom suing the sling player on the google box . But there is a latency period from the time I push the dvr controls on the player till it actually gets there of about 1 -2 seconds. Also I found that if I tried to use it in the bedroom I had to have the living room tv and a/v player on . If I didn't the picture of the sling player would lose frame and I would end up watching the bottom of the screen on top, then a black bar and the top of the screen. The only way around it is to keep the living room tv and a/v receiver on at the same time and mute them so I don't hear the audio coming from the living room faster than the bedroom. All in all I think the Hopper/Joey whole house system would be better for my needs. I kind of wished I hadn't even bought the sling box now ,since I see the results aren't as good as I initially thought they would be. But my curiosity got the better of me and I had to see if it would work. It does work ,but with the above mentioned limitations.

That is strange that the tv being off causes this. Are you sending the signal thru the tv prior to the slingbox?

I am actually sending the 722k to the google box by hdmi then to the a/v receiver. The Sling box is being fed by component from the 722k. I am not feeding the tv or a/v receiver the component out of the sling box. I can't really figure out the reason why it drops the frames like that.

The Revue does not support playing videos from DISHOnline.

I can't speak for other GTV platforms.

i did find that the epix feed that is on dishonline, is viewable on the revue.
