Greetings all,
I'm not a current subscriber to Direct TV, but I'm considering it. Before I commit, I need to know whether or not the R22-100 DVR Receiver will work successfully with Slingboxes and/or Hava Boxes or not. I travel all the time and I have used my Slingbox Classic to send my Comcast basic cable to wherever I happen to be. It's really nice and convenient. When I talked to the CS Rep for Direct TV, they told me that the DVR that would come with my package would be the R22-100 DVR. A quick check on the Slingmedia website doesn't list the R22 as a compatible receiver for the Slingbox, but it doesn't say that it doesn't work, either. I've read that the software for the R22 is basically identical to the older HR21 model, which is listed as Slingbox compatible as well as the older R15 DVR. Has anyone had any success Slinging by using the R22 DVR? I need to know if I can Sling my signal for sure before I order a Direct TV package, otherwise I'll just stick with Comcast standard cable service.
Respectfully yours,
