HAPPY NEW YEAR!
2008 was a great year for SatelliteGuys.US over the last year we broke more news about the satellite industry then any other Satellite Forum! Many of our news items started off as "Rumors" and in 2008 the majority of our rumors came true!
Many people know (including the staff of other forums) that for the real scoop on whats happening in the Satellite industry they need to come to SatelliteGuys! (The recent Dish Network Price Increase is proof of this)
We are looking forward to the upcoming CES show, this year our CES coverage will come to you from a total of 8 of our staff members! This will be our largest staff event ever! Other sites will only have one or two folks there!
In addition to our large staff presence at CES since it is the Consumer Electronics Show will be pushing the limits of technology, by using electronic equipment to push it to the limits to bring you to the show floor! This coverage will even include a number of LIVE events, some of the things planned have never been done at CES before! For more details on some of those events STAY TUNED!
Since we are known for our rumors lets start off 2009 with what we belive will be a big topic not only at CES but a big topic here at SatelliteGuys (and other forums) over 2009. Its a receiver that was announced at the 2008 Team Summit show as the 722s which eventually became known as the 922 recevier.
The 922 will be Dish Networks swiss army knife of satelilite receivers, building in the technology of Sling Media into a Dish Network HD DVR. Imagine a Dish Network HD DVR and throw into it a Slingbox, a Slingcatcher, some internet functionality and a new user interface which takes full advantage of a customers HDTV. Put it all together and you have what we have been calling a 922!
Now because Dish just recently decided to rename all of their satellite receivers the 922 might have a new name such as the "Super Duper Dual Tuner HD DVR with Sling Technology" or something like that. (Have I told you I really don't like the new names... but I digress..)
Anyways since we are known for our rumors lets kick off 2009 with a good one, take a look at the screen shot below, it is believed that what you are looking at there is the very first known screenshot of the upcoming 922. As you can see the screen is not done yet, but gives you a good idea of the look they are going for with the redisigned interface.
Remembering that this screenshot shows an unfnished design tell us what you think about it, what you like and what you don't. Also feel free to share any ideas you might have or changes you would make.
In addition a picture of what appears to be the 922 remote. (Sorry its not the best picture)
A big THANK YOU to our supporting pub members for making all of this possible. For our pub members we are working on something special from CES. (The question is will the technology work in the room we are in... and thats all I can say about that for now...
) If your not a supporting Pub Member yet but would like to help support us so that we can continue to do things like this please
