I haven't been in the forums for a while. Is this monthly price any different than the price of the non sling version of the hopper?

I'm considering suspending our dish network service for part of the year. What is the monthly fee for this? Can I still watch my recorded shows? thanks, -Scott Baker

Did DirecTV ever fix this?

I'm a dish customer. I would wait and see what everybody says about the 5 tuner box and if it's good make the switch. If I didn't have another year on my contract that's what I would do.

Why would Dish ever hold off selling a DVR because a software update is coming. By that logic isn't a DVR software update always coming? So you should you just just never sell any them ever, right? I could maybe understand if the current software is unusable. The 922 is very stable though...

I have a 622 and a 922. I would say as far as recording shows and watching them afterwards they are equal. I wouldn't use the word reliable for the sling part of the 922. I also have very rarely tried to record a 3rd show at a time and never a 4th show using the OTA module.

I'm pretty sure the sling catcher is discontinued. They have a Sling Receiver, but I'm pretty sure it's vaporware. Yeah the decision to go to flash was the worst thing they could have done. The one thing apple and MS fan-boys can all agree on is that flash is horrible.

try the fast forward and rewind buttons - not the skip buttons

So can 2 813s share recordings with each other? I assume they wouldn't share scheduling data. That would be too good. So the 922 and 813 can't share anything outside of swapping an external drive?

This all seems way to cool to ever happen. I'm sure studios would throw a fit about most of this.

The sling windows app will work, if you get a really old version and are OK with everything being 4:3 and in standard def.

I don't have an answer. I was thinking if I ever get 2 external hard drives for this purpose, I wonder if you could use cloning software to clone the drive so you would have a backup. Then you could reformat one just to try it or if one went bad, you would still have everything. Maybe some...

What make and model do you have? I wonder if using a receiver would have fixed at well.

CFL bulbs can cause problems as well

Personally I think the revue is a total waste of money, unless they start releasing apps for it or something. Just my 2 cents.

I bet the 622/722 would be really slow if they used the 922 guide interface.

ditto. I sure wish we could use the latest sling player app in HD

Has anyone used the sling receiver lately? Does it buffer a flash encoded version like the dish.sling.com website - so when I press skip, I have to wait for it to buffer and catch up or is more like watching the video on the DVR. It's one thing to see errors on a website that I didn't pay...

I wouldn't blame your equipment too much. I upgraded to a NETGEAR GS116 Switch (this is what the microsoft employees use for media center / extender setups) and switched out any cat5 cables to cat6. I still have issues using the sling site. The more you read this forum you'll see that a LOT...

So Dish doesn't have anything new other than higher prices and promises of android tablet sling software?

I was wondering the same thing. I never got a phone call asking me to switch and I'm more than happy with the content for what I'm paying.

I used the DVE DVD to calibrate red, green, and blue on my DLP. What do I use to calibrate the magenta, cyan, and yellow values?

Does this work yet, or are we still waiting for a fix?

I've been meaning to do a kill-a-watt test with the 922 off and on, but I'm sure the difference is next to nothing.

It's weird how sling and dish seem to be working separately. A few products work with the 922 and sling boxes, but they've put in artificial restrictions on most sling software to block the 922.
