The internet connection doesn't work with 922 receivers. IR blaster is the only way.

I updated manually from the first beta leak to the official via the file available on gtvhacker.com. At first, the market was very laggy and unusable. After about 12 hours, everything is fine with that app. I am, however, having a new IR Blaster issue between the GTV and my 922. Whereas on...

What are you talking about? Android devices running 2.2 (aka Froyo) have flash -- it comes right from Adobe. I watch content from all the networks and Hulu (with a hack to undo the block) on my HTC Evo regularly. Google TV is based on Android 2.1, but it appears to have a flash plugin, as all...

Thanks so much for the reply. Mostly what you have to say is encouraging, since I haven't tried HD with some of those sources. I'm a bit concerned however about Amazon. Despite my Speedtest results, Amazon won't send anything but the lowest quality content to me.

My Speedtest.net results are comparable (actually even better) to yours. However, I still can't play HD content without stuttering or get the Amazon app to recognize that I have decent speeds. Can you try those things on your end? Go into the Amazon app and pick a non-HD show. You don't...

Will check my settings, Scott. Thanks. If this works, certainly better than changing the output on my Dish box.

Ugh. What an idiot I am. For some reason, I never even considered that possibility. Very disappointing though. Most of the better N routers allow for operating a t 5Ghz and in homes like mine (with tons of interference at 2.4ghz), it is a necessity. The way I'm getting around it now is by...

I was really excited about the Revue and have been anxiously awaiting its release. In fact, I pre-ordered two: one for my family room from Amazon and one for my bedroom from Dish. Both were set to replace my two Apple TVs (both hacked and running Boxee and XBMC). After two days using the one...

Here's a new, very positive, review from TechCrunch. With Google TV, I May Never Leave The Sofa Again

It is in stock at some Best Buy locations.

Wait, Scott. I thought it had already been established that you could buy one from a third-party and use it without the $4 fee and that you would merely lose the Dish DVR integration. Is that not correct? Please let me know, as I am just about to his the Buy button on Amazon. Also, since...

Just spoke to a CSR from Dish who indicated that there is a delay on the orders and that they won't be shipping any Google TVs until 10/28 at the earliest. Figures. They are already on the shelf in Best Buy and Amazon has them shipping today, but of course Dish can't get their act together and...

Scott: Can you answer one question for me? Once the Google TV is hooked up via the pass-thru and the Dish integration has been activated, can you still use the Dish remote to change channels, etc. -- i.e. can the Google TV functions essentially be ignored if you don't want to use them. The...

That is correct -- it is exactly what happened to me. Haven't received any e-mail confirmation of shipping yet, though. Will do so as soon as I hear something. I know many of you aren't impressed by GTV, but I haven't waited this anxiously for a tech product since perhaps iPhone v.1. As...
