    722 Box... Can I use the HD component and HDMI to output to two tvs?

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

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    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...

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    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.

    Using Sling.com with Sling Adapter

    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.

    MLB network

    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...

    MLB network

    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.

    Where's the Sling Extender?

    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).

    Initial reaction on Sling Adapter

    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...

    Initial reaction on Sling Adapter

    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...

    Dear Friends... (A Note about the Sling Adapter Promotion)

    Is there anyway I can force a recording scheduled remotely to record to TV2? I have a 722k, and when I schedule something using the web interface and adapter the recording is forced to TV1. I thought the adapter was tied to TV2, and it seems that if you schedule something using the adapter it...

    Dear Friends... (A Note about the Sling Adapter Promotion)

    Now that I have ordered and received it, is there anyway that I can tell if I am eligible for the rebate? I am on AT120, and like a few others I "chatted" with DISH and was told that I was eligible (for whatever that's worth). I figured once I received it that maybe I would get some sort of...

    Is there an HD receiver for two rooms?

    They are about a year behind and counting, but the Sling 300 receiver will let you get HD on TV2 remotely. You would need either a 722 or 922 receiver to go along with the Sling 300. Sling Media - Sling Receiver 300 I plan on getting one as soon as it comes out.
