Good to see that the 921 still doesn't have Dish Home.

I really wish that they would embellish on the term "enhancements".

It's my guess that "enhancements" in the Dish Management opinion is keeping it working - not really making it better. This is especially true with the 921.

browse to PIP feature (while in browse, the user can bring up a PIP window for the channel browse is focused on)

How can we do this? Does it change the PIP channel to the one you select in browse mode a certain way so that you can browse other channels without having to change the channel that your on now in case you still want to rewind it or does it go to the channel that you select in browse mode to the other tuner by itself if you have the PIP up?

I sure hope that i am reading this correctly; Dish did say that the first week in march is when we can expect the USB support for pocketdish. I can't wait...I haven't started fully geeking out about the pocketdish until I can use usb transfer. I just hope that it actually happens this time instead the last updates rumored to contain pocketdish support in which we saw nothing change from a pocketdish perspective. I will be hungr:hungrily awaiting any updates anyone has on the subject,

The PocketDish update for the 522 went out 2 weeks ago, I know a bunch of people using it.

It is very slow.

Actual transfer time for a 2 hour recording was 1 hour 45 min.

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes its USB 1.1 meaning around 40 minutes to transfer an hour program.

Really?? How do you get it to take? Cause I have still have L291 and every time i Put the USB cable into the pocketdish, My receiver resets and I just keeps on resetting. So All I get is a snowy screen and the green tv1 light. If anyone knows how to do this or a post or a thread i could get the answer I would be very greatful.
