Not according to the CSR I just spoke with. When I asked if I could order one he checked my account and told me no because I have a 622 and not a 722/722K. I told him what the Dish Store page said and he checked with some other folks and even called the warehouse. Looks like whoever set up the web page made a boo-boo. At least I'm going to wait for another 622 user to test that out.

I was told NO on the 622 and have just pinged DISH again on the matter, I think its a website boo boo.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Just an update from DISH...

The 622 being listed as being compatable with the DISH Sling Adapter is an ERROR and will be removed tomorrow.

Again the DISH Sling Adapter is NOT compatible with the 622, only the 722 and 722k!

With the Sling adapter and a Vip 722, is the internet connection involved to Sling to i-Pad? Also would I need a Sling Player?
All I want to be able to do is watch Dish in my bedroom with my i-Pad.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

It will still use the network in your house but not go out to the internet and back in again.

Yes you will be able to watch on your iPad.

 

[Dirtydan]

Great! I was concerned because my dsl is pretty slow, so will this be a problem?

As a side note, I am looking forward to comparisons between DISH Sling Adapter equipped 722/722ks ViP922DVRs. I wanted to get Sling quite some time ago, but decided to wait because I had read that a Sling equipped receiver was coming. When the 922 was released I was disappointed when I found out that there was no TV2 output. Then I decided to switch from the 622 I had to a 722k. I sure hope that the DISH Sling Adapter works well. I am hoping that based on the experience they have had with the 922 that this should work pretty well.

Still says out of stock on the site.

Thanks Jim, It looks like I am borderline with my Siemens router, but I will buy the adapter when available and go from there.

I'm going to order tomorrow morning. I'm excited.

Is this the device they'll be using?
Sling Media - Slingbox 700U
If so it only shows SlingPlayer Mobile will work on iPhone, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile, but if they get an Android app out I'll definitely be interested in jumping on this.

Also this article shows it'll be $99 with on monthly cost which would be NICE!

The DishRemote Access app is in the Android Marketplace. I know it works with my 722 hooked up to HD Slingbox so I assume it would work with this one.

I downloaded it too, but it won't let me log in. Is there something special you had to do with your Slingbox before it would let you log in?

I associated that slingbox with that receiver several months back on the regular dishonline website.

I logged into the Android App and the guide does not have the AAD locals channels.
Does anyone know if these will be added to the guide?

 

[jack byron]

How long a wait for a Windows Slingplayer app? Need my Windows Mobile 6.1 Touch Pro 2 to work on the road. Or does the $29.99 app in the windows marketplace work?

 

[mangles]

OK, so I can view a progam from a remote location, but I still can not network my 722 receivers like TIVO, AT&T and DirectTV (just to name a few).

This is perhaps the most missed feature from my TIVO days.

 

[Tahoerob]

doubt any support for Win Mobile. Maybe for newer Windows Phone 7. The $30 app should work.

 

[rhapsody]

I am curious, what kind of upload bandwidth requirements does the Sling Adapter require?

I've got 6.0 Meg down stream but only 512 up. Will it work ok?
