The 722 will launch on August 15th. The MSRP for the 722 is $549.

Dish Network will soon be offering DishSkinz DishSkinz is a cover for your Dish, they have lots of sports teams and designs (I have two of them already, a American Flag and a Smiling Face.

They are now on to question time...

Question will ESPN have the ESPN Gameplan because there is going to be no BIG 10 games this year. Dish says they are working with Big 10 on it.

essentially this chat is done, but I wil listen to the questions and will edit this if there is anything interesting said.

Hope you enjoyed our coverage of this Retailer Chat and we also hope you enjoyed our tease! (Our Pub Members got the tease last night!)

Wouldn't it technically be 6 new channels since we've always had DiscHD?

I just used DishOnline.com to hit my new replacement 622. Worked like a charm. I didn't have to wait on the phone. It seemed to me the programming hit was faster than if a CSR did it.

We currently have Discovery HD Theater this is the actual Discovery channel in HD.

How the activation of ESD will work in case if your lovely external enclosure with 750 GB disk will die ? Or just the disk and you will send it to Seagate and install new replacement ?

How did you do this? I can't even find where to associate my DISH account with my DishOnline.com account.

Will Discovery HD Theater be disolved when Discovery Channel HD is launched? If not, I wonder how the mapdown will work??

Ahh, gotcha.

[Cyclone]

Until we hear otherwise, I think that the current assumption would have to be that Discovery HD Theater and Discovery Channel HD are two unique channels.
