EXISTING customers are required to sign up for a new two year commitment, correct?

Yep, doing it now, plus have a splitter on my HDMI so I'm going to three places.

Is the blockbuster announcement possibly the reason they have been dragging their feet on releasing the extender? Perhaps they are going to give the extender streaming capability such that it doesn't need to tie up a tuner. ??? The hardware could probably do it, but whether that's what they...

A simple fix for that will be to exclude any PPV type programming from the streaming option. And I assume it will be like that.

Do any of these players (either standalone or web based) use hardware acceleration? My Windows 7 based HTPC is an ION system, and it isn't quite up to the task of playing HD video without using hardware acceleration.

Working for me now, whereas it wasn't last night.

Something is messed up with my receiver. When I go to the main channel - 153 I get an error 013 "Programming Not Authorized". When I go to channel 446 which I believe is the alternate channel I get a 743 error "Not available in my area", which makes sense. Called tech support and they...

I even called into tech support. First tech couldn't answer why I wasn't getting the channel so they elevated me. Second person told me it was blacked out. Sounds like this wasn't the correct answer ???

Same problem here only I'm in Minnesota. If they are trying to get me to sign up they are not impressing me.

If you are referring to a 722, unless I'm missing something doesn't TV2 only output only NTSC/coax and composite? If so, that ain't HD. I was thinking the only way to get HD out of a 722 was with the sling adapter (not to be confused with the sling extender).

Having the same problem with my ipod. Windows app works fine for me though.

The extender was announced two years ago and we're still waiting, if that's any help.

I have the same problem with playback starting out good and then turning bad. What happens with me is the bit rate starts out low, which plays fine, but then it starts optimizing the bit rate (increasing it) and then the system starts stuttering. I could keep the quality lower, but the...

Do any of the Windows players for the sling adapter offer hardware acceleration for playback? I have an ION / Atom HTPC that I'm trying to use to playback TV2 in HD remotely, but the unit doesn't have enough processing power to handle HD. I also dual boot the unit with XBMC which offers...

Does anyone know what the holdup on the extender is? They're pushing being late by almost two years on this thing.
