    Dish just called me -- Free sling adapter?

    I had received an email from Dish Network today regarding the free Sling Adapter they wished to send me. Questions; Will the Sling Adapter work with the applications that I have already paid for and installed onto my phone & tablet (both Android)? Do they require that the original Sling...

    3D in 2012 -- May send me to DirecTv

    Check out Martin Scorsese's "Hugo", or Michael Bay's "Transformers: Revenge if the Fallen" in 3D, and I think you'll see that James Cameron has increasing competition where directing 3D movies are concerned. :-)

    Panasonic DMP-BDT500

    Nice review - Mine is on order and should arrive at my local Best Buy soon. Looking forward to read any future findings and/or impressions that you've got on the new player.

    75" Mitsubishi LaserVue (L75-A91)

    Here is the video that I had taken from my second visit to see the LaserVue. I made a point to bring along my IR thermometer, and obtain readings from both sides of the television (connection panel on the right hand side, and venting on the left). I had also took a temp of the top, however it...

    75" Mitsubishi LaserVue (L75-A91)

    On Saturday September 11th, I took a 1.5 hour drive down to Primetime Audio/Video of Rockford Ill, in order to obtain a first-hand view of Mitsubishi's 75" LaserVue television. This is the resultant video footage...

    Remote Access Frustration

    I have just upgraded my 622's to a pair of 722's and was experiencing the very same thing. In my case, I am attempting to remove my old receivers from my SlingGuide account, so that I can add the new receivers. No matter which browser I use, I am sent back to the SlingGuide account login page...

    Stargate SG-1 Discussion

    I see an ancient communication device listed as an item to be auctioned - does this mean that SG-U is no longer in production?

    922 Pics

    Well that bites! I own one ViP622, and lease a second one. I can honestly say that I will not be purchasing or leasing a 922 until the IR is enabled. I can use the universal remote of my choice (Harmony 880) with it.

    Is Chuck Renewed?

    yeah - but the producer is reported to have been forced into some 'serious budget cuts', and they are only getting an order for 13 episodes. ...hardly a 'full season'. I am really hating the production of 'half seasons' and branding them as 'a season'. :( Still, it is better than reality...

    Apes

    It is currently for sale on Amazon, for $57 - a very good price, considering Best Buy had it listed in the store for $99! ...I wonder how much lower the Gold Box price could be?

    SlingGuide - Problems

    I was trying as late as 7:00 p.m. CST. with no success. Just tried again and it appears to be back up and running.

    SlingGuide - Problems

    Yup - sitting on the "Connecting to receiver, please wait" message. Let's hope they are performing some sort of update.

    SlingGuide - Problems

    I can confirm this - My 622's were activated and I have SlingGuide functionality and never needed to modify my firewall.

    SlingGuide - Problems

    Thanks again. The 622 that I have in my home theater runs in single mode, so the tuners are not split, feeding other televisions, so tuner one should not be an issue. It is primarily viewed in the early morning while my wife is on the treadmill, so I shouldn't run into any major conflicts...

    SlingGuide - Problems

    Thanks Zulu - it sounds as though the Solo will suit my needs. It is just my wife, my six year old daughter and myself, and the only time I would use the Sling is when we are either on vacation, or when I am taking my daughter to swimming lessons. I'll be able to stream live TV if I wish, from...
