Thanks, Matt. Appreciate the update.

Heard on a local radio show that Dish recently put it in writing for one of their customers that they are adding The Mtn. to their lineup. Can one of our Dish reps confirm or deny this? Would love it if they did add this channel!

Thanks, Matt. With that in mind, here's a new group dedicated to bringing The Mtn. channel to Dish Network. It will serve as a petition to Dish, so the more people join the better. Spread the word! Welcome to Facebook

Oh, yeah? Rams or Buffs fan? Another question; do you think some sort of a Facebook Group/Petition might help sway this, or is it purely a contractual issue that wouldn't be influenced by such a thing? Thanks again for the insight and response.

Awesome. Thanks, Matt. There's a huge amount of football fans very interested in this one.

Pffft! Oprah can move to another channel! LOL! That's a good point about OWN taking Dish Health's previous channel number. I wonder if this rumor is true, if they plan to shuffle some channels around or maybe put The Mtn. on a different channel. At any rate, I'd just like to see the channel...

Wondering if one of the Dish staff that are lurking around here can confirm what some of the local Dish reps here in Boise are saying, which is that The Mtn. Network (MWC's sports network) will be added to Americas Top 200 package in place of Discovery Health and will be available before the...

Thanks, Tygr. I appreciate your giving it a shot. Looks like Mike beat you to it, though. Thanks, Mike. I suspected this was the case. Unless Sling and Dish coded the A/V out specifically through the output port it won't do this, and my guess was that they didn't code it to do that. The...

Still trying to figure out if this will work or not. Can't get a straight answer from the Dish Network support folks. They don't appear to know. Anyone have all the pieces needed to just try it out for me and let me know how it goes? Thanks.

Mmm....not too sure about that. I wasn't expecting to stream to my iPhone over 3G since I do have a wireless network at home. Doesn't sound like the person who posted that tried going out through the Apple Component Cable from his iPhone and then streaming from the Slingplayer over a wireless...

Thanks, Jim. I know that on the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad, the video/audio feed is only allowed on certain applications, so you don't get a mirrored display. The only way a game would display on your TV over the component cables is if the developer specifically coded that capability into the app...

Anyone know if it's possible to connect an iPhone to a TV via the Apple Component Cables and then view DVR'd and live TV through the Dish Network Remote Access app through a Slingbox unit on the Dish DVR? I know you can definitely watch recorded and live TV on the iPhone over the Slingplayer...

It absolutely could be your switch. I had an older Linksys EZXS55W EtherFast 10/100 5-Port Workgroup Switch that absolutely would not work with my VIP722k no matter what I did. It worked with every other component I ran through it, but the Dish equipment didn't like it. Wouldn't even show...

Most of our local Redbox kiosks have a small Blu-Ray selection in them, already for $1.50. Won't be long before they're expanding the selection, I'm sure.

We've rented "Hot Tub Time Machine" and "Alice In Wonderland" at the $.99 price point. Very happy to pay that price for a movie (and "Alice" looked really, really great at 1080p). We'll definitely take advantage of $.99 offers from Dish again, but will never rent for more than that. There's a...

Just to close the loop on this one, I picked up a Netgear Gigabit switch like this one: NETGEAR - 5-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch - GS605 It's working like a champ. My 722 didn't like that old Linksys that I had for some reason. At least I can get my whole media system...

LMAO! Don't think the thought hasn't crossed my mind. ;) jag

Thanks, Vader. Good to know they work just fine for you. $1.97 is insane, too. I'm thinking I'm going to locate a switch locally in case it doesn't work and I want to return it, though. Much less hassle than dealing with shipping, even though I know I could get it much cheaper off the net. jag

Yep, that's along the lines of what I'm going to wind up having to try. The Linksys EZXS55W is basically a 5-port (one port is for uplink or to connect to the router, so it's really a 4-port) 10/100 switch, but I've already proven that it's not going to work with the 722. Given the comment from...

I use PayPal when I can, but Citi has a virtual account number function on their credit cards that generates a random single-use credit card number I also use, which is really handy for online purchases. It's accessible through their website and a snap to use. jag

I should have elaborated that I have tried every cable with every networkable device that I have in that room, plus my laptop. Every single cable allows those devices to pull an IP via DHCP and connect to the network and internet through the switch. The only device that does not work through the...

Airport Extreme and Airport Express are wireless solutions from Apple. I wish I could hardwire the room my media gear is in, but it's simply not an option or I'd certainly do it (I've pulled my share of CAT5 in another life). There could be a latency issue. I have some network analyzing software...

Another monoprice.com fan, here. I've always had great service and gotten quality products from them at a fantastic price. jag

I had this happen with a 522. Whenever Caller ID was enabled on the 522, the modem in the receiver would try to answer the phone and drop the call. Once I disabled the Caller ID function in the receiver, the problem went away.

Hi Folks, I've been trying to set up my Dish VIP722k receiver to network using my Airport Extreme in my office which is connected to my DSL router, bridged by an Airport Express in my media room with a older Linksys EZXS55W 4-port switch providing IP's via DHCP out to all of my...
