Has anyone successfully accessed Blockbuster On Demand content via the iPad app while traveling internationally? I ask because Netflix streaming is not available for US subscribers in most non-US countries, so I was wondering whether the same licensing limitations apply here.

Does anyone know whether this On Demand streaming of Blockbuster, HBO and Cinemax content will work while I'm traveling overseas? Other streaming services such as Netflix don't work in many countries outside the US, so was wondering whether licensing restricts Dish's offering as well?

I've got a 722 and am trying to decide between upgrading to a 922 and getting a Sling Adapter. I've seen arguments for both here but a couple of points need clarification: 1. Does the 922 now allow TV2 output to a second SD TV (as one poster mentioned in this thread)? I hadn't heard this...

Has anyone been able to add the Altitude Channel to their Dish Absolute HD package? When I called, they said that the Multi-Sport package (including Altitude) requires a Bronze level base package or higher (even though the Bronze package costs the same $34.99/mo). Are there any creative ways...

I've got a 722 and haven't been successful, so would also be curious if anyone has done it...

Has anyone been successful in getting the SAT mode into 'Learning Mode'?

I've noticed that it's stopped working for me ever since I started using Safari 4 beta...

I wonder if anyone can help me with one of the following two problems I'm having: 1. I'm trying to backup my remote settings, which there is a set of instructions for at the Dish Tech Portal (Tech Portal : Remotes : 21.0 IR/UHF Pro). Pressing and holding '0' does not get the System Wizard up...

Thanks. Yes, that's what I ended up doing (which worked!)...

Thanks, Ed, I also saw this on the portal but as I described in my post I was seeking a solution that would allow me to control TV volume while in SAT mode (not lose control altogether).

1 . Thanks, but the volume buttons seem to 'fixed' on controlling TV volume while in DVD mode. I tried teaching the 21.0 but it didn't take. 2. It seems that the AUX mode is apparently the only one that can be toggled to control the volume of something other than the TV. I was able to toggle...

Sorry if this has already been covered: 1. Is there an email address for SlingGuide beta-related questions? 2. Can only Slingboxes that are connected to the SlingGuide-enabled received be 'added'? In other words, I've got a Slingbox connected to a second receiver (not the one with SlingGuide on...

Sorry if this has already been covered but...is there anyway to disable the default activity of the volume buttons always controlling the TV volume? I'd like to control my DVD player's volume directly (my DVD player does not play through TV speakers but separate ones).

As a DishHD standalone customer, I'm thrilled. One minor disappointment is that not all of the SD equivalents are available on my SD receiver (Travel, ESPN News, Disney channels)...is there a delay in uplinking these, is this an oversight or is was this intentionally (strange) done?

How does one become a beta customer?
