    Official 922 Release Notice

    Any idea on cost? Are we looking at a full 200 dollars like the SlingCatcher, or will this potentially be pretty cheap? One 922, plus 2 of these (one for the bedroom / one for the theater), and I could get rid of my second receiver.

    Official 922 Release Notice

    Does Dish have any kind of Sling Catcher device, it looks like Sling has pretty much discontinued that (it's not in stock anywhere). I actually like the idea of having one 922 for the house and a Sling Catcher type device in the bedroom. Are other Dish Receivers going to be able to receive the...

    DVR recordings to iPhone/iPod

    It would be great to see Dish release an iPhone/Touch app where you could plug the device into the receiver and directly transfer shows over to the phone/ipod. I'm fairly sure they could encrypt the shows and properly protect them so they'd be worthless to anybody but yourself.

    Slingloaded HD DVR922 at CES

    This is the 1st receiver that I've ever been ready to plunk money down for on day one. It has every feature I could realistically hope for at that price point.

    My suggestion for DISH--Ultimate HDDVR Package

    THE big sticking point for a lot of people (especially me) if the refusal to allow you local RSN in the HD Only package. I'd gladly pay a premium to add it, but it's not even an option.

    HD "only" package ($29.95) ??

    I would have signed up for it a while ago, but not being able to keep my RSN is a deal breaker.

    I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelling..

    I think that's what I'm going to end up doing. I'm only 2.5 hours south of Chicago, and I'd love to have their locals anyway. I used a local installer to put everything in, so I'm also not worried about service calls, since I'm going to call the local guy directly over the Dish 800 number...

    I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelling..

    I'm really happy with OTA and Dish. It's a great combo for me that serves all my needs. The only thing I wish is that the 622 had a second OTA tuner. I have to record The Office in SD since the wife needs her Grey's Anatomy in HD. Two OTA tuners would solve my only real issue.

    EchoStar Unveils ViP-TV

    What about delivering high def channels to the smaller local markets using IPTV instead of eating up the satellite bandwidth?

    How long will you wait for DISH to deliver before switching to DirectTV

    It's all going to equal out soon enough. I see no reason to switch. I want Sci-Fi HD as much as the next guy, but not enough to go through the trouble of switching everything. I'm sure by the end of next year the differences in HD offerings will be pretty much cosmetic.

    622/722 Remote Question

    So, I'm guess this is what I'm looking for then. BRAND NEW DISHNETWORK 6.2/6.3 IR/UHF PRO/LEGACY REMOTE - (eBay item 120166491378 end time Oct-04-07 16:49:55 PDT) Is there a better place to buy extra remotes? Perhaps from one of the forum sponsors? Or is ebay the best place to look.

    622/722 Remote Question

    What's so special about this specific remote? Does that allow me to control it without switching it over to Single User Mode?

    622/722 Remote Question

    Thanks, that answers all my questions. I can just flip it over to Single Use mode and go downstairs...not a big deal at all.

    622/722 Remote Question

    Don't shoot me if this has been discussed elsewhere, I wasn't having any luck with this specific question with the search feature. I'm having Dish installed again next Friday. I'm getting a 722 put in. My plan is to hook the HDMI up to our main TV upstairs and then run component down to my...

    Dish Network News from CEDIA

    Well, we can mark the 1st of the year down as the date I make my jump back to Dish. This is the final nail in the coffin for Mediacom. I've been waiting for any easy cost effective way to add a second HD-DVR for my home theater. The 211 with a beefy external drive is the way to go. The 622...

    Using a VIP211 as a DVR?

    I have to say, it would be a welcomed feature. I don't necessarily need a second 622 for my home theater. However, I would like the ability to record football games and the big weekly TV series like Lost and Battlestar Galactica that my wife and I enjoy watching on the big screen. For that...

    When is DN coming out with Dual HD tuner DVRs?

    Yeah, eventually, I may just end up going the dual 622 route. One for the theater in the basement, and one for the general use main floor TV. I've thought about not putting one down in the theater, but that's where the majority of major sporting events get viewed in my house.

    When is DN coming out with Dual HD tuner DVRs?

    I'm just with Mediacom cable at the moment, but I have 2 HD-DVR's with them. I can at the very least schedule the same recordings on both boxes. There have been rumors about networked DVR's going as far back as Voom when I was with them. I've heard the same rumors about Dish Network now (at...

    When is DN coming out with Dual HD tuner DVRs?

    Once they get this issue solved, they'll have me back as a customer. I need to be able to watch my DVR'd HD content on more then one television.

    Where is USB External Storage for the 942/ViP622?

    That sure would solve a lot of problems at our house.

    Where is USB External Storage for the 942/ViP622?

    Is that right? Can you really move the external HD to say another stand alone HD receiver and plug it in to its USB port and watch the content? That would be really great.

    Help with new Dish Install

    Thanks, seems like the average is around 480 dollars or so. That's not too bad, not exactly a wife friendly number. Seems like the eBay auctions are in the same price range as well.

    Help with new Dish Install

    Hey everyone. I'm a long time reader of SatelliteGuys and a former VOOM subscriber who's currently fed up with Mediacom. It's looking more and more like Dish Network is who I want to choose for my TV provider. We had Dish years ago before we switched over to VOOM. I plan on signing up this...

    Does Free 622 Mean No More Plan Discounts?

    I too am really interested to see if they'll give me two 622's. I'm preparted to sign up on February 1st if they'll actually install two of them in one shot. I'm stuck in the middle of this stupid Mediacom / Sinclair fight and dying for a new provider. Plus anything other then these useless...
