[Scott Greczkowski]

About a year away for the 722s.

That qualifies as "soon".

OK, I'll take the bait. What the heck is a "new" 722?

 

[Cyclone]

Was there ever a review or pics of the Onscreen guides for this STB? I remember it begining mentioned, but I never read the review.

So scott would it be worth it to buy the current 722 now or just wait for the new model?

the 722s is vaporware. If you want an HDDVR, get the 722 today, and see what the upgrades look like late next year.

What is the "New" 722? Will it feed HD to two rooms maybe? I mean I don't even have an HDTV yet but I can see where I'd have one in the living room and the bed room eventually.

The following is from Scott's stickied thread from the Team Summit General Assembly:

Then Mark and Leslie introduce something that blows me away... The 722s. Its a 722 with Sling technology built in. Besides having Slingbox technology built in it also has Clip and sling which will let you send clips to friends. The 722s has a totally new interface, it has a guide with channel logos plus a totally new UHF remote, which features a touchpad and a trigger below it. This s a amazing unit. The front of the 722s also features al touch technology with no buttons and is backlit instead of using LCD's. They are looking at having 1TB drive at launch, however 500 GB will be used by Dish and the DVR will come loaded with name HD movies preloaded on the drive. The 722s also has a built in browser (although Jackson said it will only go to certain sites and will be tightly integrated with Yahoo.)

Sounds like it will be a cool box, if these features actually make it the final product.

does the "s" in the 722s stand for "soon"?

 

[NoCenterIceNoDishNetwork]

Wait will these new 722's cost big bucks?
