I talked with Dish about this earlier this morning and was told that if Versus did somehow get it up in HD that they would push to turn it on early.

It looks like Versus is screwing this one up.

I'm still thinkg it only gets better, so I wish I knew what changes are coming August 15th

Thanks.

That would be great if it happens.

[Jason Whiddon]

This is great news. Thanks again Scott for the work.

Im really excited about G/VSHD, DiscHD, TLCHD and HistHD.

Its driving me crazy about what might be coming mid September!

If you have hard line being used near the 622, just buy a cheap 4 port switch and plug it in by the 622. You'll turn that one connection into 3 open connections.

I have a hard wire coming from a router to my Xbox360 now, which is set on top of my TV. Would a 4 port switch work in that scenario or could i just use the same cable from my Xbox when I'm not playing??

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yup a switch would work GREAT.

Take the hard wire from the Xbox and plug it into the switch. Most new switches are are auto sensing and will see it's a uplink configuration. Then take two CAT5 cables and plug them into 2 of the other switch ports. Plug them in to the other devices. Done deal. No having to unplug stuff and no wearing out your network ports.

We should also be able to use a wireless game adapter or simliar just like what works with the HR20, correct?

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yup all of that stuff will work fine.

[Jason Whiddon]

Almost bought one with my HR20, wish I would have now
