I know the Slingplayer app isn't needed for the 922 or the 700U but it's still needed for the standalone slingboxes, right? Like I said I'd rather use my 222 Tuner 1 than either of my 722 tuners since the 222 really doesn't get used at all. I thought the 222 was just a 722 without the DVR...so why won't Dish allow the Sling adapter to work with it?
I had intended to eventually get a 922 and use the Slingbox 700U they are supposed to release. Sling Media - Slingbox 700U. I use my 622 in single mode currently and have been using a Sony Bravia Wireless Link to stream my 622 from the den to my bedroom. I've been pleased enough with it, but I don't think I can stream it to a third room with a 2nd Bravia Link, so was hoping that a slingloaded 922 with the 700U would allow me to wirelessly stream my one E* receiver to another room in single mode.
I live alone, so single mode is fine with me...I just want my one receiver (be it a 622, 722k, 922) to display to two additional locations. I guess in a perfect world using a 922 (or whatever the next slingloaded receiver is) with two 700Us.

Augh...I got it backwards...I'm waiting for the Sling Receiver 300, then. (which I think you've alluded may never actually be released...still on Sling's Product tab, though): Sling Media - Sling Receiver 300
scott,what will tehy ever do with the sling adaptor for the 922?thank you for any reply...what about this any news on this? Sling Mutliroom Extender for the 922. This will give you TV2 in full HD from the 922
Yup he is doing good, infact he got clearene to go back to work this week. (Now if he could inly find a job) 
I remember reading anout the time the 722 was released that it had a faster chip than the 622 ...
Any shock that dish is screwing this up? this linking to their stupid website is killing the killer part of the feature and turning it into a pain point. This ongoing behavior of Dish is really making me question their long term viability as a leader.
I am still trying to figure out if I want a sling adaptor or the hd pro standalone. I can get the hd pro for about $232 from newegg...or the sling adaptor for $100...it is just hard to decide...not sure if I want to run extra wires around my entertainment center...and really I am only interested in remote viewing of my vip722. Maybe if I had a 300 disk dvd player or something...then maybe I would go for the hd pro...cause I would be able to watch any of my movies I have. Is there any other reasons the HD pro would be a better choice?
If that's the case then I think that's probably why. 12Mpbs vs. 480Mbps. Sling Adpater would be a pretty tight fit for 1.1.
I don't know Scott. If that was the case, I would think the EHD transfers would be a lot slower. I haven't measured, but I haven't noticed much difference between the 622 & 722.
According to the EKB, it's 2.0. Also Dish's QuickFacts pdf for the 622 also shows both front and back ports as USB2.0. Unfortunately I can't find a link to it other than on that other forum which shall remain nameless (but it's run by JL). And where is Smith, P. when you need him? He has taken his apart on numerous occasions just to inspect the chipset.

You guys may be correct. That was the only thought that popped in my head about why it wont work on the 622.
I do remember there being another DVR maybe it was the 942 where transfers to the Pocketdish were slower then the other receivers...

If HD is important get the Stand alone unit, if not then sling adaptor would be fine.
