Re: Weekly Off-Topic Thread #228

Yup, been thinking about switching out my 722s for the new system but there are some unknowns still. Yah, they have the Hopper  (DVR) which can recieve up to six streams but the two primetime streams are only recieved during primetime and I cannot determine whether they install an extra LNB for the primetime streams or if the system relies on broadband for those two streams. 

 

It does tout a 1TB drive though, and the capability of having all streams coming into one box would be more elegant than my two 722s stacked up under my TV.

 

Another perk of Dish is I get to use external hard drives for additional storage or back-up of the DVR.

 

IMO, if this gets off the ground proper, Uverse will be in some serious trouble as far as TV service goes because right now Dish has AT&T's customer service beat not by a mile, but by astrnomical units.
