I have been playing around with the SlingGuide Beta with my 722 and Slingbox Solo.
I am traveling right now so I can't experiment with the way that I have my components hooked up.
I have the Solo hooked up to my TV1 component output with the IR blaster attached to the front of the 722. Everything works well. The website has some issues with OTA locals showing in the guide and a few other problems. I think when they get beyond beta it will work really well.
I have not been able to follow the rumors as close as I would like and searched this site for more info but still have a few questions:
- Will I eventually be able to hook the Slingbox to the 722 TV2 output (in dual mode) and not use the IR blaster and still watch my DVR events via the website? This will allow me to watch something different than my wife while I travel and she is at home. I was hoping that the website could control TV2 through software and no IR involved.
- Is there talk about being able to skip the Slingbox hardware altogether and just have the 722 push the video file to the website for viewing? Is this what the 922 is rumored to accomplish?
BTW Thanks to everyone at this site. I am a longtime lurker and really appreciate the info and advice that I been able to get from this site mainly through reading all the posts.
