i am kind of amazed dish are selling the 922 to the public now. i mean it is SO not ready - reminds me of beta testing boxee last year. some fun features but you wouldn't want to live with it. the sling stuff is barely usable at present which leaves me without a single reason to recommend a 922...

has anyone else had their 922 record things of lower priority than the program you want recorded? also when trying to restore the skipped program it refuses to do so because it thinks the transmission has already been scheduled - having this problem with US open series. proving impossible to...

Anyone else having trouble seeing their DVR through dish remote access? I've got a 922 and a 622, both of which are online and I've accessed previously using Dish Remote Access. Today, it says they're both offline - when they're not. They've got IP addresses and I've reset them both. Nothing...

must be something wrong with config or the unit itself - i replaced a 622 with a 922 on a 58" 2010 model samsung plasma last week and the picture is fantastic - noticably sharper than the 622. have you checked the HDTV config under menu, settings? you'll want 720p and 16 x 9 - might be on 480p...

All you need to do is enable the 922 to receive IR commands by using "menu, settings, remote control, IR, enable". then the 622 remote will drive the 922, with just a few non-essential buttons missing. one caveat - if your 922 is set to use a set of codes other than with 'address 1', then i...

Turns out this was all about the Sling server meltdown over the weekend - all is working now Also - I said above that you couldn't Sling a DVR recording while recording a live program on TV2 - that is NOT true. Now it is working, I can record on TV2 and Sling a DVR recording of something else...

great answer - thanks. [edited reply] ok i chose the 722k in the Harmony database and got all the missing codes (colors, search etc.) you're right yellow and blue seem to be messed up. but frustratingly also "info" seems to be messed up. it doesn't send a signal at all. does it work for...

Ok I just discovered the Vip 622 remote DOES have a Search button (it doubles with the # button) and this DOES control the Search function on the 922. So I can just tell the Harmony One that I've got a 622 and it will control the 922 just fine. Conclusion: If you want to drive a 922 with your...

thanks, but no, that doesn't do it on the 922 - what that does is enable you to USE a universal remote like the Harmony One i.e. it switches on the ability for the 922 to RECEIVE IR codes, but it does not make the original 922 remote start emitting IR codes (I've tested this by firing the...

The Logitech Harmony database has most of the codes for controlling the 922 already. But it seems to be missing the codes for Search, Recover and (annoyingly) the Info button doesn't seem to get programmed with anything. I've discovered the old 622 remote will control the 922 but it doesn't have...

This post is NOT about the fact that recording on TV2 means you can't sling something you've already recorded because that's done using TV2 also (I believe that's correct). You have to stop recording first to sling something else from the hard drive (which in itself is pretty annoying). This...
