Agree 100%...along this line, I KNOW this won't be a popular response...but this is EXACTLY why if you are wanting specific feature(s) - but they are ONLY "vaporware" - you shouldn't be procuring ANY services/hardware, on the assumption that said vaporware WILL actually materialize - AND actually function PROPERLY. While this does happen with other products & services, DISH IS notorious for announcing new services/features, that NEVER come to fruition...or actually get all the bugs worked out. (remember the DISH DVD 5400 combo receiver that NEVER materialized??? Or the lifetime PVR service on the first Dishplayers, that Charlie then rescinded to 3 years AFTER people had already paid for it!) Or look at all the issues with some of their other previous hardware, where all the bugs are NEVER resolved. (the OTA USB tuner issues for the Ho's come to mind off the top of my head, as well as DISH NO longer updating the OTA guide data for ANY of their OTA tuners...)
When I used to sell DISH when they first came out, there is NO way in hell I EVER sold ANY of their new products, until I actually saw them working properly...I did NOT want the hassles from customers with these same complaints.
If certain features are ONLY announcements, (like the 4K Joey PIP) then you really should be waiting until you actually see & hear it working, as well as HOW well it does. (like on this board!
) If you just HAVE to be first on the cutting edge, then things like this ARE going to happen & you really have no room to complain. Unless you have a very short lifespan left, there really is NO reason to not just wait...THIS IS ONLY TV folks!AND just to be 100% clear...this ALSO goes for D*, (ESPECIALLY now that AT&T got it's grubby mitts on it) Comcast, U-verse, etc, etc.
) that will allow more than one H3 on a single dish/account.
