    Will 922 Ever Get Blockbuster At Home

    In general, have to agree. I ended up canceling my Netflix streaming subscription cause I couldn't find anything to watch after a short time. Right now the Blockbuster one disk at a time deal is working fine for me.

    Just received software update S116!

    Don't know if it means anything in the long run, but since the update, my sling works much better.

    7 Years with Dish. Boy How Things Have Changed.

    I think that is about when I started. I recall that Dish just reached 100k subscribers shortly after I signed up! And yes, they sent me the dish and receiver and wished me luck.

    922 Sling Issues?

    My iPad just connected ok a few minutes ago. My Droid phone can't seem to log in. Just too buggy!

    922 Sling Issues?

    Gave it a try today and my iPad connected to my 922 just fine. First time in a long time. Hope it is indeed fixed now...

    922 Sling Issues?

    Same here. Can see and access my 722 with sling on my iPad and android phone but the 922 shows off line. Weird, because I can access the 922 on my desktop computer.... Guess i'll call in to see if they have a cure

    Sling 300 release

    Yep, I get that. Searching forums should not be such a pain. Sometimes they work for you and sometimes they don't. Even after you get to know a forum and the right vocabulary, their search system can still be difficult.

    Maybe a new subscriber

    Once you DVR, you never go back. My totally non techie wife, (who never did figure out VCRS), will only watch her shows recorded. Now have 3 dvrs in the house....

    SatelliteGuys First Look Review - DISH Sling Adapter

    Just go to the app store on your iPad and search for Dish. So far, the latest update has been a definite improvement.

    SatelliteGuys First Look Review - DISH Sling Adapter

    I see... My IPad version ( v. 2.4) seems to be ok. Guess they messed up the iPhone v update.

    SatelliteGuys First Look Review - DISH Sling Adapter

    Don't know what troubleshooting you have done yet, but I always start with deleting the app and reinstalling it. This sling system is buggy and unreliable on it's own, but if your app doesn't open or just opens to a white screen it sounds like a bad install or a conflict with something on your...

    Ipad update

    Just got the new update to the Dish App for the IPad. Seems to be much improved. Better interface and, so far, fast and smooth. Have only used it for a short time on the 922 so we'll see.....

    722 dead. Overstressed??

    Well, just had another 722 go dark. My wife is a power user of this machine and the life of a 722 has been a little over a year on average. This will be the third one. The 622 she used before we went to a 722 for her was about 18 months. We have had two 622s running elsewhere in the house which...

    Upgraded to 922 today, flustered and confused.

    When I had my 922 installed recently, the installer instructed me to leave it alone for 2 days. He said it may not take that long but, in his many installations, none had taken longer.

    Anyone downgrade their subscriptions and gone to NETFLIX for the movies?

    I still subscribe to Netflix mainly for streaming movies. A get a lot of broken discs from them. (one movie came broken 5 times in a row) I just hope they start providing better movies for streaming. I am not one who watches old movies very often and I have rather quickly exhausted the movies...

    Silly question about the 922

    Apparently not.

    Why do I need a technician to install a VIP922?

    I have always been one to do my own installs if at all possible, but ended up glad that a tech installed mine. The tech actually had a lot of experience with the 922, and knew all the right steps to speed up the process etc. Since he was a capable tech, his overall check of my system was...

    SatelliteGuys First Look Review - DISH Sling Adapter

    A USB hub works just fine. Just be sure to get a "powered" hub. I have my SA, Ext hard drive, and my wireless adapter plugged into the hub on the 722.

    New Customer - Is the 922 right for me?

    I had two 622s and a 722 with SA. I upgraded a 622 to the 922. So far I really like it. I don't find the 922 sling any more buggy than the SA on the 722. As with many device operating systems, multi tasking seems to be a problem for sling function. My sling function works well if I avoid all...

    More than one Sling Adapter??

    Right. My wife has control of our 722, and she is often recording two shows at a time. So, the SA attached isn't always usable. So, upgraded my 622 to a 922. Good remote access now. Also, I think the remote system is still pretty buggy, and the receivers seem to work better if they are not...

    New version of 922??

    The 922 has now been in place for a couple days. It has settled in flawlessly so far. Everything seemed to be downloaded and in place after a day. It connected into everything automatically including my media stuff on a couple computers on my home network. All is just showing up where it should...

    New version of 922??

    Well, I ordered my 922 from dish. Upgrading one of my 622s. I have been lurking on these forums for a while and it appears that the 922 is refined enuf for my patience level. I have been with Dish for many years and certainly have been an early user of a few receivers that didn't work that well...

    Any software/codec to read data on USB HDD?

    We lost our signal yesterday due to snow build up. We watched both the EHD and the internal hard drive with no problem. As stated, you may have to hit the menu button and now and then it fails to see the EHD but clicks in after next attempt...

    Sling Adaptor Field Reviews

    I have only been using my sling Adapter a couple weeks but have not had a login problem, yet. Seems like it might be more a function of the device you are logging in from. On my Desktop, I did have to log in twice one time, but never more than once on the IPad. I have my SA hooked to a 722 that...
