cool dude

Awesome...can't wait to get one of these. One question Scott; any indication from DISH if they will port this UI over to other DVRs like the 622? It looks way more modern than the current UI.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The answer is no.

 

[Pakbackr]

Thanks Scott. One other question; will the 922 support output to a 2nd TV like the 622?...one of the real differentiators of the 622 over other HD DVRs IMHO. If so, via coax or some other format?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes it outputs to a second TV just like a 622. And with a Sling Montor you can output to it as well in full HD as a third output.

 

[Pakbackr]

Awesome! Now the big question is when will it be available? I have seen your posts on this in other threads. Still thinking fall, and hoping for earlier or have you gotten any indication that roll-out may be sooner?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

They were saying Spring, but I got to use it for an hour and it still needs some work. And I have seen a lot of Echostar products over the years and I don't know one that has shipped on time. So to be safe I am still saying in the fall.

Ok here is some better quality video... I am still working on uploading the pure HD video for Pub Members.

And they were pretty clear at the press conference, that the sling monitor was intended to be a pretty small screen. I think Mark Jackson said something like 14."

(I uploaded the video to Youtube in HD but for some reason they only encoded it in SD, so I will be uploading the original HD movies in .mov format for Supporting Pub Members tonight to download and enjoy.)

YouTube - Dish 922 Demonstration

It's available in HD on YouTube now.

Once you upload a HD video to YouTube, the SD version becomes available first and the HD version follows 30-90 minutes later (depending on server load).

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Excellent, good to see it in HD on Youtube.

I have removed the 250MB file from the pub members area since it is now available on Youtube in HD.

Scott, was there any release date for the 722k?

 

[Poke]

Well I think I might finally get on a DVR when this comes out..

 

[charlesrshell]

Will the 922 have two OTA tuners?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes... it is like the 222k and 722k where it uses a module to tune in ota. It will tune into 2 OTA channels at one time.

Awesome, good reporting Scott, Thanks

Not full HD because the max streaming speed for now is 1.5mbps.

Otherwise this is the most exciting thing I have seen, and thanks for a great interview and demo!

 

[SarKen]

Is there a sling product that will work with the 922 that is like the Sling Montor but use your own tv?

Scott I noticed a dell laptop on top of the 922 receiver. Was the dell running the interface??
