Sorry for the delay in posting! The internet here is terrible, I could barely get around last night online so I could not post this earlier.

Things were too quiet at the DISH Network booth and while it was on display at the DISH booth there was no mention of what it was at their booth...

But there was gold to be found at the Sling Booth next door where we saw the Sling Receiver 300. This is something that many SatelliteGuys have waited for, for a long long time! The Sling Receiver 300!

What the Sling Receiver 300 does is allows you to watch TV2 output from your 922 (or soon 722 and 722k) on TV2 in FULL HD Resolution!

For this to work your 922 must be connected to your router and can work wirelessly on your network and supports Wirless G and N standards, You can also hardwire it to your Ethernet network, or the receiver can also work via homeplug which is built into the power adapter for the Sling Receiver (and it's also built into the 922.)

Once hooked up you can stream full HD to TV2 in your house. All the data stays within your home network and does not go out on the internet. The Sling engineers even built in buffering into the receiver so if your using the box wirelessly and there is an issue with your wireless in your house the video will continue to play fine.

This is an amazing box. I want one (or maybe even two since it will work with the 722k with Sling Adapter at release)

Expect to see it within the next couple months. And after talking to a number of DISH officials I am expecting it not to carry any additional monthly fees.

The Sling Receiver will come with a mounting kit, so that you can mount the receiver to the back of your TV.

I have some video of the unit in action but am unable to upload it due to the internet issues here in Las Vegas. But I will post it as soon as I can. :D

Thanks to ScooterS for being the Official SatelliteGuys Hand Model for the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show. :D

No if I was I couldn't tell... but what we are hearing is that the 722k might be testing with a sling adapter not the 922...

I thought I read a post by Scott that it was actually ready for the 922 but Dish does not want to release it until it works with the 722 also.

Curiously how do you become a beta tester. I would gladly Pay full price for the device and write them constructive reports on what was not working properly.

That's what Scott told me when I asked in a post in another thread. The hold up is getting the sling extender menus and guides to look like the 722/722k menus and guide. Right now the sling extender works with the 922 and looks just like the interface of the 922. The 722/722k interface is tricker to get it to do .

You don't ask. They ask you.

Well... I'd be happy to see the Sling Extender released right now with the 922 look/feel, even though I have a 722. ;) No sense working hard at getting it to look like the 722. Unless you meant they are about to upgrade the 722 to the 922 w/network icons? That might be worth the wait.

Supposedly the 722/722k interface doesn't have the hd graphics ability like the 922. I wish they would be able to update the channel logos and menus like the 922. The only thing I really liked about the 922 was the channel logos ,menus ,guides etc.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
