Sling Extender Gets FCC Approval

[llzel]

Just FYI a few of the Sling Extender beta testers emailed me yesterday letting me know that their beta units do NOT do wireless, but admitted they may have earlier units.

My comments on the box having wireless comes from Sling and was echoed in the demo video by their project manager so I am very hopeful it will have wireless support at release.

Scott, the manual says an optional wireless adapter is required to connect the extender to your wireless router. OUCH

Im sure the USB wireless adapter that dish is using (aka net gear). will be fine for this. if you have a tech doing the install (DNS) you could prob get one for free.

It was supposed to be released last July, so in DISH time, that probably means this summer.
