Allow access via Sling or Remote Access on the same IP address. Right now I can't access unless I'm at work or somewhere else not in my own home. Say in my bedroom on a laptop.
Last year at Team Summit Dish announced they were going to have the ability to transfer recordings onto another device such as the iPad. Very similar to what they did with Archos devices. I remember being very excited about that but I have never heard anything since. Maybe they will talk about it again this year. I'll post on here if I find out anything(unless Scott beats me to it)

That 1 box covers 2 tvs w/ dvr. Probably got replied to by now. But thats my 2 cents on that.
1hd and 1 sd, not many people want an sd anymore everyone wants hd, so it really doesn't count imho

I wonder how much storage capacity this would require if this were to come to pass.
9.6 terabytes per 24 hours, of 200 channels.
If they re-compressed the info to be HD/HQ they could probably cut that in about half. And 2 gigs per hour is generous.. since some channels will yeild only SD and full HD 1 hour shows can be had for under 1.4 gig ... but ... you get the idea..
The features I miss the most that Dish lacks are:
1. The ability to network my DVRs to each other. I didn't need an external disk drive/ sling box/adapter/sling receiver... I could watch content from the DVRs in other rooms with ease. I could also transfer programs from one receiver to another via my inhouse network. The transfer speed was fast.
2. I could copy recorded programs to my PC for later viewing, usually while on long flights, camping, etc. Now I need high speed internet and sling boxes where as before I had a TiVo player loaded on my PC that enabled me to watch my copied programs which were not deleted off of my TiVo at home when I copied them to my PC. Oh, did I mentioned the transfer speed was fast...
Now ask me what I really want:
- I don't want to pay for more equipment to be able to do what I did when I had TiVo.
- I don't want additional layers of complex equipment or software.
- I don't want to be dependent on my DSL provider in order to watch my programs when I am away from home.
- I don't want to run more in house wiring.

Really?
So your 922 does MRV?
Your 922 does DirecTV2PC?
Your 922 does 3D?
Your 922 does mediashare?
Your 922 does scoreguide?
Your 922 does interactive game mix channels?
The 922 just like many other models of Dish receivers support home distribution. This means putting a cable from the back of the receiver into a T'd or spliter filled network of coax cable. Then your output from the box can be seen on every tv connected to the Coax. Thus pause while in one room, walk to the next turn on the tv, and it would have the same paused picture.
What this doesn't do, (yet) is put HD on that wire. But it does (with some receivers) put TWO completely different channels and DVR'd items on there at one time (DirecTV has a little * asterisk thingy saying only 1 at a time) In this case the user changes the Channel of their TV ... say channel 60 for Tuner 1's display, and channel 63 for Tuner 2's display.
There is also new receiver coming out, which will allow fully indpendant operation (not just the single use "MRV") from any location with an "adapter" box to perform live or dvr'd functional tv apart from the first TV set (where the sat receiver is) with the same Pause & Resume / relocated video. The difference is that whole home distribution is the same signal at all TV's ... the new technology will allow fully independent viewing options for each location (the new receiver supports 3 live tuners, unknown yet how many independant DVR'd items it will support but most likely 3 to match the tuners or 4 in the case of recording with three tuners and watching a 4th show from DVR).
You've probably not seen Dish's promotion of "TV Everywhere" The 922 is also known as the "Sling Loaded 922" ... Not only does the sling loaded 922 work inside your home network, but it also allows you access to the 922 from *outside* your home network. And not only can you watch items recorded on the DVR from the sling loaded 922 .. but you can watch LIVE Tv (any subscribed satellite channel) from a Sling loaded 922.
Yes.. the 922 is 3d enabled!
Yes
Don't know but there could be an app for that.
Not sure what this feature is, but possibly something that could be added as an app.
And most of the above features are also available on the 722k receiver if you add a 99 dollar Sling Adapter to the receiver. (note Dish is about to start a 99 dollar gift card rebate too, for new subs)

How about, just making sure the Dish website is correct and up to date. Examples - having the right channels listed for each package (still not right), having the correct info for EHD capacity on receivers(currently not up to date). There are many more, but those are ones that I know Dish has been informed of numerous times and they are STILL wrong on the site.
Yes.
Someone made a post and I questioned his post related to the topic.
You can look at it as Dish can improve their product by including or improving the items I listed
That is not actually the same as MRV, but it is close.
Which when implemented will be better than DirecTVs current DirecTV2PC, but it cannot do it yet.
As far as Sling, technically you can do that with any DVR, you just need to buy the Sling seperately
Enabled, yes. But does it do it currently? He stated he can do EVERYTHING on his 922 that can be done on an HRxx
Really? This is the first I have heard of this. You can view your photos and listen to music from your music library on your DVR through your home-network?
It is not APP based. They are simply channels. Since you brought up APPs, does the 922 have APPs? On the HRs you can install APPs and access them by hitting the right arrow key
uhm... not sure what you mean by implemented, 922's have had Sling Technology enabled from the get go.
YES the 922 is 3d enabled, and YES it does currently do 3d.
Apps/channels ... etc ... the Media share option *is* there on a 922, personally I don't have the 922 but that is what the feature is supposed to be for...
As to the Scorecard/Game Mix channels, again not knowing what they are (no experience with the DirecTV receiver) I can't answer them .. if they would provide Overlays of game information .. I would think its an application that can be added if someone at Dish wanted to program them.
Many new IP enabled TV's have overlay apps ... like for the weather, news ... etc.. I would expect these types of apps to eventually show up on many IP Enabled video devices, to extend their useability. ... Which also means to say that yes, the 922 receiver has the ability to run "apps" and Dish did recently release an update with some apps in them. At odds with this, is that I've not seen any type of API or open documentation about programming for the 922 ... which of course means the development of any apps to run on the 922 is stagnate, stale, and for lack of better working sucks. But what closed loop company doesn't do the exact same thing?
With my 722k when it is connected with the ethernet connection and I select Dish Cinema or TV Shows or Networks I have to wait until the pictures and program information appear.I have AT&T DSL 6MB down 768k up can't get any plan faster.So I just disconnected my 722k from the internet.
When I made this post I had an SDTV running 480i Component hookups,now I have upgraded to an HDTV running 1080i HDMI hookups and all my internet and receiver problems have disappeared.I ordered the wireless adapter for $25+ta
that includes shipping) from the Dish Network website so now my VIP722k/wMT2 is wireless.Thank You Dish Network!.
