Any way to "sling" TV via the revue?

I've looked around, but maybe I'm searching the incorret terms. Is there a way to connect my vip722K (dish network dvr) to the revue and sling shows? I followed some steps and then my dvr said to check dishnetwork.com to activate but I can't find anything on there on how to integrate the two. I'm stuck, I guess.

Surely it's simple, but I'm just not catching onto something or searching for the wrong stuff.

 

Dish offers to integrate some of its receivers with the Revue, in fact it sells them for $99 last time I looked. They do charge $4 per month for the enhanced integration which allows one to search a Dish DVR and record with a better interface. I have not yet upgraded my Dish receiver for this and I do have a Slingbox. You can set up your google tv (I have the Sony NSX-GT1) to be aware of Dish programming so that the Movies and TV app shows what is on Dish and clicking on those icons changes the channel. That works well. However the google-tv would not sling anything... that would be done by the Slingbox.

 

There's no way to do it with just the Dish Receiver with the Logitech Revue. You'd need have a setup similar to the Google TV Setup #1 in my signature below to do that.

 

What's the HD Fury 3 doing for you in that setup?

 

The Slingbox doesn't not have HDMI input. No place-shifter does. They don't want to have to deal with the potential headache with HDCP restrictions. So, the HD Fury converts the connection from the Revue's HDMI output into 1080i Component video of my Slingbox Pro-HD.

 

Awesome. I've got an old Sony Grand Wega I've been wanting to hook a Revue up to ... but it only has component and DVI. Maybe I'll do this. (I've got an HDMI to DVI convertor ... but then I'd still have to deal with the audio output from the Revue... so the Fury would handle it better.)

I guess I'll wait to see how much the new Sony GS7 is going to go for before moving my Revue around. That remote looks AWESOME.

 

So you sling your Revue to the 24"? What virtual remote do you use?

 

Good luck. I hope it works out for you.

I dunno if awesome is the word I'd use for it. The keyboard looks like the same kind of buttons used in the old Speak n' Spell toys of the 80's. Those weren't very fun to type with and wore out pretty fast. The other side looks like a faceless PDA. I think Sony is trying much to hard to "reinvent" the remote for Smart TVs. They should stick to the original ergonomics of a handheld which has become intuitive to use with a television. It is a shame they don't just license the Tivo Slide design because that in my opinion would be an AWESOME GTV remote.

 

Yep, I have several devices that can render the Slingbox streams including the NSX-24GT1. So, I use the virtual remote that is associated with each client.

 

Dang, I guess I misunderstood it's capabilities. I'm deploying (again) this week and was hoping to sling football games to me out there.

Thanks for all the advice, though!

 

All you need is for someone to host a Slingbox for you who has a good network connection and the channels you need plugged into the Slingbox. You can view the games on a variety of devices such as PC or phone and now the Logitech Revue.

 

There are also services that will host a placeshifting box for you. Actually, I have a friend in Taiwan that hosts Satellite TV placeshifting service with products by Sling Media or Monsoon Multimedia. There's lots of sites like, American TV 2 Go - Digital Television, Unleashed that offers the same service type of service but with American Satellite TV service.

 

I have heard of that as well. Pretty cool. What he really needs, though, is a friend or family member who has a good broadband connection and perhaps even a strong broadcast OTA signal for his favorite sports stations and he can get that for free!

 

It would have to be a "really good" broadband connection, if he is going to be stationed outside of the continental United States.

 

If you're on a wifi network try the app imediashare.

 

Not sure if you missed the part where he wants to "sling football games" out to where he is being deployed. So, I'm pretty sure he'll be a little bit outside of the range of his WiFi network. That's why he wants to use something with place-shifting capabilities like a Sling Media Slingbox or Monsoon Media Vulkano for this capability.

 

Yep I misread .. my bad

 

How good of a connection to get an OK picture?

I want to Sling to France and view the NFL on an ipad.


Do I need the Fury unit? Is it still available?


Thanks!

 

I have a Hava Platinum and recently got the android app working on my revue. This allows me to display the picture from my attached cable box to another tv with a revue located on remote network. Can also placeshift to tablet and smartphone.

To use the Revue would he have to take it with him?

Not sure about the basics here.
