Sling Adapter - viewing through slingplayer client

[don_b]

I have a slingadapter connected to the VIP 722.
I am currently watching through the dishanywhere.com site
However, I have experienced audio sync issues on the HD or Auto stream quality mode, while watching internally on my home network with over 8mbps streaming. I have tried this on 3 different machines with minimum dual core processors, 6gb ram and dedicated video cards. in those 2 stream modes, the audio gets choppy and out-of-sync with the video after a few minutes of streaming after I change the channels through the channel guide. I have to close the chrome, IE or Mozilla browser, re-login and try again each time this happens.
The audio issues do not exist in "better" mode but the quality is not the best.

I was wondering if there are people who have been successfully able to connect the slingadapter through standalone client software?

the machines i tried this on where
1. HTPC - athlon x2, 6gb ddr2 ram, 1gb ddr3 video card, win7 64bit
2. Home desktop ; intel core 2 quad, 6gb ddr2, 512mb ddr2 video card, win7 64bit
3. home laptop: intel core i7, 8gb ram, 1gb video card, win7 64bit.

I can't even access the stream through any browser today. It says "the sling plugin has crashed." Tried it on Chrome, Mozilla and IE. Something appears to be wrong with Sling today!

Is the plug in only crashing for hopper users?

I can only answer for myself, but I have the Hopper w/Sling.
