    Not your typical Dish Mover question

    The idea of her learning new channel numbers and new equipment is out of the question. I once moved from Dish, to Cable to Directv in 30 days trying to find the best provider at the time and I thought she was going to kill me. Even the Directv experiment didn't last long because she couldn't...

    Not your typical Dish Mover question

    I am hoping the SatGuys hive mind has an idea of how to make this work. Here is the scenario: I got divorced earlier this year and she got the goldmine (house) and I got the shaft (apartment). Dish customer for 7 years and loved the service. The Dish account was tied to my SSN and the only...

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    I like the strategy. This gives them a chance to get some revenue for Blockbuster and essentially Beta test the re-launched streaming service. Hopefully they will use the money to improve the streaming offerings over time and not line the executive's pockets. Netflix's success, thus far, has...

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    The ads really need help. Who sat in a meeting and said, "Yep, that will get 'em to sign up in droves!" ?

    Versus Lack of Availability on Dish Network Lower Tiers Hits Home

    I realize this is a TV centric forum, but what is wrong with listening to the games on the radio. Before the proliferation of cable networks and ubiquitous sports coverage radio was your only option. I remember listening to St. Louis Blues and Cards games as a kid (Dan Kelly and Jack Buck made...

    Sling trouble with Dish software

    Unfortunately the response is the same with dishonline and dishnetwork websites. As soon as I try any of the controls the picture freezes and then I lose connection with the 922. I can be streaming at 975K consistently and as soon as I click on a control I am toast.

    Sling trouble with Dish software

    Before I call Dish Network I wanted to run this by you all here and see if I am the only one having trouble. Due to a variety of reasons I am not at my home so I am remotely watching my 922 via the built in Sling. When I use dishonline.com I can never get a consistent connection. On the few...

    What happened to the virtual remote?

    I have been trying Firefox, but my system locks up completely when attempting to install the latest updates to the Sling Plugin. Once I finally did get it to install I keep getting the error : "Our systems are being updated (7). Please try again in a few minutes." I get that error through...

    What happened to the virtual remote?

    Unlike others who have had issues with the 922 I have been really pleased. The guides and menus work great and, although there have been a few bumps, I have had success with Sling. I am currently away from from home for an extended period of time and have relied on the 922 and its sling...

    How often do you view the SatelliteGuys forums?

    I will check 3-4 times a day during the week and rarely on the weekends. This is my micro-break destination of choice.

    Switched from Dish - first impressions

    Thanks for the information. I am at wits end with the 922 and missing College Football on Fox Sports with this contract dispute. Hearing this kind of feedback will make the decision to switch that much easier.

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    Charlie is making a calculated decision that what money he saves by holding firm is less than he will lose by angering subs like me who are fuming at missing College Football games. Somehow Directv can be competitive with Dish and still keep Fox happy with putting the RSN's in the lowest tier...

    VIP 922 Hardware Setup

    With the 922 I was referring to Sling inside my home network. I can usually get 8Mb/s according to the dish website and/or Sling app. Outside my home network I cap out at the max upstream of service. I have been testing streaming content to my 922 and did so earlier this week. I installed...

    VIP 922 Hardware Setup

    Absolutely. I was just stating that whether using powerline, which my 922 uses, or Wifi, which the Xbox 360 uses, I am able to stream HD. My main point being that the router isn't that important. My router is 10/100, only G, and is many years old and it works well. Even at very high Internet...

    VIP 922 Hardware Setup

    I have my faithful WRT54G that is about 6 years old and use the powerline adapter for my 922. I can stream HD inside my house with no issues whatsoever. This includes hardwired and wireless devices. I have a fiber connection to the Internet at 8/2 and can stream SD outside my home. The...

    Just got my 922 UGH!

    Actually my experience was the opposite. I found the 922 picture to be sharper than the 722 it replaced. Might want to have it replaced...nothing to lose.

    922's EHD's to be DISABLED tonight.

    LDBecker, the ability to watch directly from the EHD is disabled at this time. I have had success, with lots of patience, of moving programs from the EHD to the 922. Thankfully the slower summer period and the larger HD on the 922 have kept me from space issues. Dish does seem to be...

    "Showstopper" of a bug on 922

    Same thing happened to me, but while watching live TV. I hit the menu button once and then canceled out. That stopped the annoying loop for me.

    Do you think the 922 is ready for prime time yet?

    I have to count myself as one of the lucky ones who hasn't had significant issues with the 922. I have only had two missed recordings which occurred a day or two after the box was installed. Like cincyguy my wife is happy with the 922 also and she usually just tolerates my new gadgets...

    A Positive 922 Experience

    I make this post, not to minimize any of the difficulties many of you have been having with your 922's, but just to chronicle my experience thus far. So far, I have to say it has been very positive. I ordered the 922 the day it was released and had it installed a few days later. The install...

    Are you Happy you got the 922 ?

    I am loving mine so far. The interface is great and I was able to sling the Masters to the deck this afternoon. The first few timers have fired with no issues and even watched the first one we recorded. The only issue I am having is that I have an EHD full of items taken off of my 722 that...

    The Official "Yay I got my 922 installed" thread.

    Had my 922 installed this morning. I was the this tech's first 922 and the third they have done overall in San Antonio. I think he said 1 of those was at a supervisor's house. The install went without a hitch. The one thing he was very paranoid about was not using the remote until the...

    Problems with Dish Website Sling Viewing?

    Got my 922 slinging on the site with decent success. I am able to stream in SD, but HD performance is not good. I only have 1MB upstream so it looks like I will be upgrading.

    FIRST LOOK - ViP 922 Slingloaded DVR

    I hope the EHD stuff gets straightened out quickly. I know there is a price to be paid for being on the bleeding edge and I am willing to accept that. Just the idea of being able to sit on my deck and Sling the Masters in HD to my laptop while smoking a nice cigar is a great transfusion to...
