VIP 922 RELEASE DATE!!!!!!

**Hemi 6.1** · 09-26-2009 04:00 PM

This is what Verizon gives me for $29.99 per month. Sad isn't it.

Time Warner Cable $49/mo (Columbus, way out in the burbs!)

Curious as to where you got the idea it has 1000 hrs of record time?

**bookworm370** · 09-26-2009 05:27 PM

Probably because it's a 1TB drive. He has not figured out that Dish reserves a significant portion for it's own use. Also my guess is he calculated it using only SD recording and hasn't even figured the impact of HD or worse yet (OTA HD at MPEG2).

But, of course, he has one so he must know what he's talking about!

**lakebum431** · 09-26-2009 06:26 PM

Well, to his credit he said he hasn't received one yet. But you're right. That must be what he is thinking. Which is wrong. Some have said that the size for personal use on the 922 is the same or smaller than that of the 722k.

Also, as Scott said, I've played with one. It isn't ready...

**AKGolf** · 09-26-2009 07:43 PM

It's not ready. I have to reboot so often I'm reminded of the 921! How many of us want that again?

I am envious of the internet speeds posted though. Anchorage hasn't caught up to the rest of the country yet. 512K/3MB.

**Jim5506** · 09-26-2009 07:50 PM

Lowest number so far!!

But I guess for 0.5mb up and 1.5mb down I'm pretty close.

This DVR doesn't make me want to Jump. Considering a new satellite is going up for Direct in the next thirty days, many of that national HD's they don't have will launch in February and March which is more important than a DVR. I can hook up a External drive that will match the 1TB, so still no big deal. Also I have Sling Pro HD which works fine for me.

Dish has a track record of many software bugs on there systems when they release.

Never been a Direct subscriber so I don't know anything about their units. The buggiest unit I've ever owned was the 921, but my the 622 was good and the 722 has been rock solid for me. If they release the 922 early that would be a step backwards, but their latest receivers have been good.

R U nuts to be bragging about D* putting up a new sat when E*just put one up & another scheduled to go up 1st quarter next year? Also E* already supports 1 Tb ext HDD and the one inside the unit is still works.
