Iverson has been stupid enough to sign up for Dish Network is based solely on the availability of this SlingLoaded DVR. As a longstanding member of the Slingbox I imagined it would be nice to have features of a DVR with integrated Slingbox. What a big mistake! It turns out that the ability to consciously cripled integrated Slingbox from Dish Network, so you can use SlingPlayer desktop client with VIP-922 (feature is disabled), dish requires access via their website and use the buggy and Slow Flash-based, rather SlingPlayer. This is a problem if you use 64-bit Windows and Internet Explorer as the web-based SlingPlayer is not supported on Windows 64-bit (Sling recommends using SlingPlayer desktop that can not be used with VIP-922). I know Sling has tried to convince people to use their SlingPlayer browser for a while ', but I never liked and always preferred the SlingPlayer desktop because of its low impact on screen real estate that does not support SlingPlayer desktop client has been a big disappointment for me. To add insult to injury, according to the 922 VIP customers announced UPnP / DLNA is cripled well. I was hoping he could replace my old Buffalo LinkTheater with VIP 922 for playback of video files are hosted on my home network, but the VIP 922 is really not support playback of video (audio only, and the images seem to work), although the introduction / help screen on the device itself suggest that the video playback is possible (I suspect that they disabled the ability at some point) when I asked the support of video file shows that I kept thinking I was trying to copy the recorded programs off DVR, showing that you really do not understand UPnP / DLNA. It seems that everywhere I went I ended up disappointed with this DVR in terms of features than other DVR I've used I thought it was Ho Hum. As it turns out the biggest problem for me was the lack of fine video / audio controls: 1. The menu program guide ran to the edge of the area with guided visualization, which ended quite badly bleeding outside the visible area on the TV screen. There was no set-up to the image of the DVR, so I could not see the logos / channels on the left side of the Guide. There was never a problem with the previous decoder, and I can not say if it was just poor interface design of the Dish Network or a problem with video output. 2nd The system could not control the sound so that it would send audio via HDMI, even though we were with optical output. This caused an annoying echo if the volume was not rejected on TV since the audio signal to be sent to the TV and receiver, which should have insisted on using component cables, but the installer really wanted to use HDMI support dish network is unable to help us find the way to control audio output, although it appears that this control should be available in the menu, let's say that the menus were not exactly easy to navigate then it is possible that this control is available (the same goes for video), but I had to leave after a couple of hours over a couple of days. In general, I must say something about the Dish Network customer service: I have never dealt with a company whose approach to customer service is so antagonistic. I realized in less than a day I had made a mistake by purchasing the VIP 922. They insisted that the problem was with me and I needed to work with technical support to find out what I was doing wrong. Most people with whom I spoke were not using the Sling Loaded technology, and I spent much time to explain again, which is a Slingbox and works as it should (and why VIP 922 did not work for me) only fell once agreed take was VIP-922 and replace it with a conventional DVR.
