[Koilvr]

I just get a blank page.

Looks like we crashed their server.

Ahh the power of SatelliteGuys...

You got to wonder how many 922's are being ordered because of us today... We are the only site actively talking about it and with a full review.

I wish DISH would open a special line just for SatelliteGuys members to call.

yup it was working alittle bit ago. NOW I can not even get it to work. As soon as I added it this it went blank. Even scotts link does not work now.

Does the 922 have the built in HomePlug? If so, would it be adequate (from a hardware standpoint) for slinging HD? Thanks!

Koilvr would you please edit your two posts and change the COLOR to black so that a person can actually see it without "highlighting" it. The shade you are using is almost impossible to see.

Sounds like a perfect benefit for being a Pub Member!

If your monitor is calibrated correctly u would not have that issue, also all I did was copy it from the dish site. I saw it perfect so I thought others would to. I have no way to edit it since it is a copy which is weird and I am on my iPad. Great week iPad and a 922 in my hands this is Christmas right?

Essentially unless you have DOSIS3.0 or FIOS you will not be able to stream HD.

DSL upstream is usually under 1 megabit/sec, and even U-Verse max turbo is 3MB max, probably iffy.

Most cable is under 1.5mbit/sec. Unless you get DOSIS 3.0 and sub to a high tier plan.

FIOS is really the only service with base upload speed starting at 5mbit/sec that will really work. But, then if you have FIOS you probably do not have Dish network.

That's not true I have Dosis2.0 and get 3.98 upload speeds with comcast

I am not on FIOS.

And I have DOCSIS 3.0 and the top pack I can get is 15down/1up, as that's all TWC in my area offers.

TWC top tier at this time is 50/5, but of course it is in limited areas. Here I have 30/1.5 on TWC.

Cable systems vary across the US, but I would bet that most cable customers do not have 3mbit/sec up service. It could be available in bigger cities, but most do not pay for the upper tiers.

Nope.

mine is 5-6 up, 20+ down and is not the top package by any means

I am 50 miles from Chicago too.

Anyone using WIMAX or 4G? I just signed up for it today and will be getting the modem tomorrow. If it doesn't work very well, not specifically with the 922 test, in general I may just stick with cable.
