The on-screen UI on the 922 looks awesome. Wonder if DISH will port the look & feel of this UI over to other DVRs?

Has anyone heard if the 922 will be able to tune an OTA channel when it has lost it's sat. signal?

I, myself, do not like channel logos on a guide. After all, the channel logos on channels change alot but I don't see Dish changes the logos on the guide...just my peeve. If the logo changes on the channel, update the guide. Directv has channels like that on their guide. I am not a fan of this guide or remote, I like what they have now.

Be interesting to see if it's still possible to use a universal remote, like my Harmony One, with this new UI. The touchpad/trigger is quite a break from traditional remote designs.

IF this comes out respectably prices (under $200), I'm all over it.
And if it works as advertised (along with the new satallite at 129), I will be willing to forgive E* for the failure of 150 channels, and the yearly price hike.
This set looks like it'll be awesome.
I love that it'll accept movies from an external drive hooked up to my current 622.
