HAPPY NEW YEAR!


Anyways since we are known for our rumors lets kick off 2009 with a good one, take a look at the screen shot below, it is believed that what you are looking at there is the very first known screenshot of the upcoming 922. As you can see the screen is not done yet, but gives you a good idea of the look they are going for with the redisigned interface.

Remembering that this screenshot shows an unfnished design tell us what you think about it, what you like and what you don't. Also feel free to share any ideas you might have or changes you would make.

Happy New Year!

This is how they should do it

By moving the program information up into the black area, you can get more real estate for 2 more channel listings in the guide.

Nice work, though we don't know maybe E* needs that two blank spots for ads

A better option is to give us the option of whether we want the info below the picture or beside of it.

I like it, but they need to include the star rating.

@LASooner - thanks for blowing up the remote.

I agree that the remote design is rather lame. But I like the idea of a touchPAD on the remote, if it is, in fact, a touchPAD. However, from what I can tell from the grainy pic, there appears be navigation bars on the "touchPAD". This would suggest that it might be a touchSCREEN after all. But those could be manual buttons or scroll wheels outside the touchPAD area. It's hard to tell from the pic.

But if it is truly a touchPAD, I highly recommend DISH get back to their roots and copy/implement someone else's technology, mainly the new MacBook's touchPAD technology (similar to iphone), which allows for two- and three- finger swipe/pinch zoom/scroll/etc. Other touchpads I have seen can only process a single contact point at a time, not multiple independent contact points on the pad.

Our LSC in West Allis, WI. had all the techs take a little 60 question test too see how much we know about computers and networking. I assume this is for the upcoming 722s (or 922), I think in the coming months Dish is going to be educating their techs on the use of this new receiver and installing home networks. This kind of brings me back to the A T & T Home Zones. This should be a pretty cool receiver and I for one will hopefully get the chance to upgrade my 722 when these are made available.

I love the current remotes and guide format. If it turns into the crap I had to suffer through at my in-laws over the holiday (ala comcastic dvr) that would be a huge leap backwards.

They could save space by putting the number inside the start to indicate the star rating.

It appears to be a channel button.
