If it's fast enough to share my broadband connection then why can't I stream shows from one DVR to the next?

If it's fast enough to share my broadband connection then why can't I stream shows from one DVR to the next?
"I think" I actually experienced this the other day ... my 722 would not give me a picture ... so I unplugged it ... waited a minute or two and then plugged it back in ... turned it on. Typically there is the finding satellite step 1 ... step 2 ... to step 5 stuff. It did step 1 ... then boom step 5 and it was done. I was impressed. :up
Good. I thought Dish was making a mistake not having numbers. Hopefully they will be painted on to avoid confusion, though.
No!
DishCOMM is a full-blown implementation of one of the older HomePlug networking technologies.
It may not be fast enough for HD. I would be a shame to have a technology that works only on HD equipment but only streams SD content.
Isn't D* already (for beta testers) streaming HD around the house to HRxxx's? What are they using?
I was told by someone else in this forum that broadband can't be shared between receivers.
In other words, I have a 722 in my living room, directly plugged into a router via Ethernet. I have the power cord plugged directly into the wall.
Then in my bedroom, I have a 722k without Ethernet, but also plugged directly into the wall. Looking at the DishComm screen, everything looks golden; Both DVRs are listed and are green.
However, I can't get that 722k to share the broadband. Am I missing something, or is my desired setup not workable; in other words, do I need a powerline adapter to actually get the receiver to share the broadband connection.
D* is again testing their product as of last week. It uses a conventional Ethernet jack and the jury is still out as to how well it will work with non-hardwired scenarios including the HomePlug kit that DIRECTV sells.
not so fast, we have been down this road, how many times? dead ends.... one can only hope for the launch of QC HD
When they show the exact date .. it is a first! I feel comfortable ... all I heard before was coming soon ... and we all know what soon means. Seems when they give the date it goes on! ... I hope!
Gee, now I may have to upgrade and get use out of my 42 ince 1080P tv.

Can you access the receivers that are not hooked up to broadband via dish.sling.com? Do they get their own unique (LAN) IP address?
Gopherscot, did you notice slates 4 and 5 are askew, Q.C. is noted in Indiana ons slate 4 and Evansville is located in Iowa on slate 5
