Or how about being able to export the timers from the remote access website to a file. I would think that would be even easier.

+1... Your timers should always be backed up online if you are ethernet connected. If I can feed you my data, at least have the courtesy to backup my stuff

I sense a new fee coming. Might be worth it, for a buck.

There will be... Dvr fees on accounts with a 922 will be $10 instead of $7.

Pass.....That takes the incxentive to switch from cable to satellite.
Point....The current monthly charge for TWC's HD DVr is about 10 bucks a month.
Knowing how people shop on price first, it will be an issue with some prospective Dish custy's if they are informed the DVR fee will be the same as the amount they are paying for their current setup.
Yes, one can sell the idea of a superior piece of equipment. But when it comes down to brass tacks, if we attempt to sell Dish to a cable custy that is happy with their current service, if there is little or no savings on a monthly bill, it will be a tough sell. JMO.

The 922 sounds amazing but the lack of IR on the unit is a real turn off to me. It forces one to have 2 controllers...they should have allowed for the RF remote, but is the addition of an IR sensor for people with their own universal remotes that hard?
