Before I call Dish Network I wanted to run this by you all here and see if I am the only one having trouble. Due to a variety of reasons I am not at my home so I am remotely watching my 922 via the built in Sling.
When I use dishonline.com I can never get a consistent connection. On the few occasions I do see a picture it only lasts for a short time. Last evening I was able to start playback of Hell's Kitchen from the DVR and it worked fine until I tried to jump ahead a the first commercial. That killed it.
Now, if I use the old Sling Player software version 2.03.508 I connect 99% of the time, and can successfully use the remote to watch DVR, jump ahead, jump back, etc. Rarely do I have trouble connecting in this manner.
A few infrastructure details: The 922 is connected via FTTH 8MB/1MB. I am watching from a cable modem that consistently gets 20Mb/1.5Mb. I have tried Internet Explorer 8, and Firefox and both have the same issue with dishonline. Since the old Sling Player works I know the connections and the 922 are not the issue. Before I call and raise hell with Dish I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. I have had the 922 since the day it was launched and the web portions used to work perfectly. Once dishonline went live I can't make this work to save my life. I prefer the web since it doesn't have the resolution limitations, but it doesn't do any good if the freaking thing wont connect.
If I am missing something please let me know. I have a lot of catching up to do on that DVR and need a reliable solution.
