    922 Sling Issues?

    I'm having the same problem. I can see my 722k and my 922 but I can't set timers on the 922 or use Sling. I had mine installed Saturday. Is there a Sling Player for Mac (or Windows...) that will work with the 922?

    VIP922 - worth the upgrade from VIP722?

    I'm happy with mine, but I just got it for the pretty interface and the bigger hard drive. Plus free.

    Question for 922 gurus

    I don't think anyone expects it to come out bug-free. BUT it is going to be based on the 922 software, as opposed to the 922 whose software was built from scratch. So...less buggy than the 922 at launch. We hope.

    Locals free?

    Removing the locals will get you $5 off the AT packages but yes, getting them removed would be very difficult and most likely only possible/sanctioned if you were previously on a grandfathered package with no locals and they were added without your permission.

    Is it possible to split a HDMI cable to HDMI and coax?

    You can use a splitter on the home distribution/TV2 out to get TV1 out through coax while it is hooked up through HDMI. In the Modulator Setup you have to turn TV1 out to the same mode as your TV2 out (air or cable) which will get you a picture of TV1 on channel 62 or 75 (by default), or...

    Locals free?

    This is true, but if you get the right agent you can get the locals removed. Not sure if they're supposed to remove them, but if you were on a grandfathered $64.99/m AT250 they can.

    Is the 922 free yet?

    Ask them to replace your 510 with a 512. It's free, and you'll get more hard drive space plus the ability to record two things at once.

    922 antenna extender?

    I've wanted to do that with an old Plus dish in my storage unit. For wifi. I hope I don't have to resort to this for my 922.

    922 antenna extender?

    From what I can tell, not so far... satelliteguys.us/dish-vip-922-support-discussion-forum/257130-tv2-remote-antenna-boost-922-a.html (I can't post URLs yet) I'm having my 922 (free, of course, that's why I've held off) installed Saturday. My house was built in the 50s and is all lathe and...

    Dish Equipment for my RV

    If you're buying the receiver outright, and going with a Winegard, the best thing is to ask what they call the Activation Plan. No contract, no SSN, no credit check, stop and start at any time and only pay for what you use. It's for when you have the equipment and don't need any install, perfect...

    Wll CID display with Voip?

    I have Caller ID working with VOIP through my local cable company (all-in-one modem/VOIP device) and both 722k's and a DishCOMM modem. It also worked with Vonage when I had it.
