You could always go over to gtvhacker.com and download the update yourself for manual installation.

The internet connection doesn't work with 922 receivers. IR blaster is the only way.

I updated manually from the first beta leak to the official via the file available on gtvhacker.com. At first, the market was very laggy and unusable. After about 12 hours, everything is fine with that app. I am, however, having a new IR Blaster issue between the GTV and my 922. Whereas on...

What are you talking about? Android devices running 2.2 (aka Froyo) have flash -- it comes right from Adobe. I watch content from all the networks and Hulu (with a hack to undo the block) on my HTC Evo regularly. Google TV is based on Android 2.1, but it appears to have a flash plugin, as all...

Thanks so much for the reply. Mostly what you have to say is encouraging, since I haven't tried HD with some of those sources. I'm a bit concerned however about Amazon. Despite my Speedtest results, Amazon won't send anything but the lowest quality content to me.

My Speedtest.net results are comparable (actually even better) to yours. However, I still can't play HD content without stuttering or get the Amazon app to recognize that I have decent speeds. Can you try those things on your end? Go into the Amazon app and pick a non-HD show. You don't...

Will check my settings, Scott. Thanks. If this works, certainly better than changing the output on my Dish box.

Ugh. What an idiot I am. For some reason, I never even considered that possibility. Very disappointing though. Most of the better N routers allow for operating a t 5Ghz and in homes like mine (with tons of interference at 2.4ghz), it is a necessity. The way I'm getting around it now is by...

I was really excited about the Revue and have been anxiously awaiting its release. In fact, I pre-ordered two: one for my family room from Amazon and one for my bedroom from Dish. Both were set to replace my two Apple TVs (both hacked and running Boxee and XBMC). After two days using the one...

Here's a new, very positive, review from TechCrunch. With Google TV, I May Never Leave The Sofa Again

It is in stock at some Best Buy locations.

Wait, Scott. I thought it had already been established that you could buy one from a third-party and use it without the $4 fee and that you would merely lose the Dish DVR integration. Is that not correct? Please let me know, as I am just about to his the Buy button on Amazon. Also, since...

Just spoke to a CSR from Dish who indicated that there is a delay on the orders and that they won't be shipping any Google TVs until 10/28 at the earliest. Figures. They are already on the shelf in Best Buy and Amazon has them shipping today, but of course Dish can't get their act together and...

Scott: Can you answer one question for me? Once the Google TV is hooked up via the pass-thru and the Dish integration has been activated, can you still use the Dish remote to change channels, etc. -- i.e. can the Google TV functions essentially be ignored if you don't want to use them. The...

That is correct -- it is exactly what happened to me. Haven't received any e-mail confirmation of shipping yet, though. Will do so as soon as I hear something. I know many of you aren't impressed by GTV, but I haven't waited this anxiously for a tech product since perhaps iPhone v.1. As...

Scott, should I assume based on your post that Dish now has it in stock and will begin shipping out pre-orders soon?

I received a call from someone in Dish's administrative office regarding my GTV ordering fiasco this past weekend. He assured me that my order has been placed and indicated that Dish hoped to begin shipping the units next week. He also confirmed the $4 month fee and explicitly indicated that...

How exactly does your link answer any of the questions I posed? You linked to a technical support page -- I don't have any questions about how the box works, what it does, how you hook it up, etc. Read my post again, please. My questions concern price, contractual commitments, fees and...

First, we do not know for a fact whether Dish will allow you to activate the integration features if you did not buy the box from Dish itself. It's likely they will, but not a certainty. At least, I haven't seen it written anywhere. As a practical matter, though, paying full price for the box...

I understand that. The point of my post was whether it was worth buying from Amazon and giving up the integration in exchange for not paying the $4 fee.

Eh, with eBay and Craigslist around, I don't worry too much about being an early adopter. As long as I'm not getting into any contractual commitment, reselling a new tech without suffering a loss is virtually guaranteed.

I'm trying very hard to fight the urge to order GTV from Amazon using my Prime account and have it in my home next week versus waiting until the end of the month (or later) for Dish to get it. I don't mind paying the $300 up front . . . especially if it means losing the $4/mo. Dish fee. What...

Same thing here. Got to love Dish Network! Over 1.5 hours with various CSRs, multiple disconnects, order placed, credit card processed, order cancelled, no credit card refund. Ultimately told that we never should have been able to order it, as it has been pushed back several weeks. Expect it...

How did you go about ordering it. I've tried like 10 times and the CSRs always tell me that it will be several weeks until they can place an order?

I wonder if there will be a way to side-load Android apps until then.
