From the manuals that Scott posted the interfaces don't even begin to resemble Dish's.

A. They don't resemble Dish's because they are not Dish's. It was designed and manufactured by a different company. (BTW, that's a good thing.)
B. It wasn't MPEG2-only. It was always MPEG4 capable. Click here for an original product description: http://www.2wire.com/?p=13

From day one there were some that said it could do Mpeg4 but had to have a software change. I don't know the truth in this case.

| | | HD Homezone Finally available but...
$199 for an upgrade from SD Homezone according the utterly un-informed CS agent at dish i spoke with. Seems like they weren't even aware there was HD box, AT&T was but they were no help...told me it was a $99 upgrade and told me to hold the line...then i got forward to the $199 guy without ever hearing back from the AT&T CS. Screw these guys, i'm going to wait and see what's up with this pricing. I even asking the dish guy if i didn't have the SD version already would i incur any costs and he said he didn't know. Tools.

Plus, it's just a friggin' 622!!!! What happened to the 2Wire Homezone HD receiver? I still haven't found a reason to leave cable and go back to Dish, or switch to DirecTV.
