I was told last week that the release has been pushed back until June.
It will be a few years before we see 2 HD out receivers. At the monent it is cheaper for dish to put in 2 hd boxes then it is to make a receiver that outputs 2 hd streams.

Scott, did I see somewhere on here (Retailer Chat?) that the date was June 1? Did I just dream that?
I was hoping the sling featuring would allow you to watch HD TV in other rooms. As for multiple HD outs, AT&T does it with UVERSE right?
Yes from a central DVR, but you still have to have a receiver at each additional TV.
Then whats the point of Sling? I'm confused.
To be able to watch your TV programming any place you have internet access.
OK, so sling is for your PC or Lap Top. Then I guess I might not need the 922 but will the 722's eventually get the new menu's? New interface, GUI or whatever it's called. Because it still looks sweet!!!
Scott,
I may be mistaken but I thought that I saw the 922 being able to do 2 hd outputs.Dish has a monitor that you can buy and its suppose to be slinged from the 922.Is this sling standard def only?If thats the case why would anyone buy the monitor if its only going to be standard def?Thanks
assuming the 922 can sling HD (i would assume it could, but don't know), you can catch HD on any Sling HD product. This include's slings set top box called the Sling Catcher that can output up to 1080i.
Edit* Wanted to point out that whatever is being slung via the 922 will probably be using one of your tuners, if HD i would assume whatever TV1 out sees, so TV1 and sling catcher would have to watch the same thing (again, assuming could be wrong).

With DRM and all that it entails, you are not likely to see a decoded true HD stream out to anything other than HDMI or Component - and I believe they are trying to close the Component door. A stream to a PC in a format than be copied and distributed is exactly what they are trying to prevent. Companies like Dish will lose programming product if the they don't cooperate.
Its cheaper for the customer if they made the 922 have 2 rooms of HD.
Thats another $7-12 per month for E*, By NOT having a Dual HD Room receiver.
I got one word for this:
Bull$%it !!
Just in what form are they to get HD to the second HDTV?
HDMI?
Component?
ATSC?
Each has problems with either cable cost, oscillator/encoder cost, etc.
It is still better for both subs and Dish to use seperate receivers for each HDTV.
And I don't see a great enough demand for the development costs to be covered.
