have a sling adapter on the 722, and a slingbox PRO HD on the 211k.

Thanks, looks like SD only though (or HD with no HDMI port). Might not be ideal for tablet. I suppose the HD models will set me back many hundreds? Almost worth it to upgrade and pay the DVR fee and just use the USB wireless adapter for 29$... I thought there would be a non-expensive solution for the 211k...

Are there any basic models of receiver that allow for streaming of live TV on your phone pr tablet? 222? Trying to get this feature without having to pay a monthly DVR fee if at all possible.

You may be out of luck on this, sling adaptor works with 722, 722k and Hopper, 922 already has sling loaded into the receiver. All have the dvr fee. Sling box should work on other receivers. There is an HD model, not sure of the cost of it though.

Right, to have HD you would need the Sling Slingbox PRO-HD. It can be had for ~$250.

To connect just about any device via wireless, the Netgear WNCE2001 ~$50, works really well.

Look at it this way, if you buy these, you can still use these devices without a subscription service. The slingbox pro HD has an ATSC tuner.
