I think it was available as beta for a short period of time, it was removed shortly after and I don't think anything has been put back up since.
I don't think it was really ready for beta. Alot of people seemed to have issues.
Look really closely and you will see the words SWAP PIP and POSITION under the first three keys on the bottom. They are PIP Keys. 4th key is shiny. DISH Home?
I think the sign for the remote is intriguing. 'Remote stores Receiver settings. Receiver stores remote settings.'
Sounds like the receiver will program the remote for you and then use it to back up critical receiver settings.
Um, if Voom sponsored, they sponsored. I'm seriously tickled they sponsored, but not much Charlie can do about it. Duct tape would work I guess, if E* returned whatever consideration received, and the contract allowed for removal of sponsorship.I'm sure they were already printed before the shakeup, but I can't believe they didn't at least put some duct tape over the VOOM logos or something.
That wouldn't be FX & Speed logos on that bottom group, would it?!?
Things that make ya go "Hmmm"
Of course everyone has their priorities, but if that dish is no bigger than the old D* Phase III and can be mounted on vertical surfaces (e.g. chimney, side of house) then, as long as it gets all the channels, I think Charlie is going to have a distinct advantage.
MUCH less fuss than with the D* AT-9 or "Slimline".

To save folks some time, here is an Executive Summary Preview of the Team Summit....
Eastern Arc:
* Despite the problems with the launch of AMC-14, we will be able to continue the deployment of the Eastern Arc using a collection of spares (AKA space junk).
* Just look at this cool new satellite dish that will allow us to provide all of our channels to new subs in the eastern half of the US using only one dish.
* And check out these cool new MPEG4 receivers and even cooler remotes.
New HD:
* We are well on our way to having 100 HD LiLs DMAs, and despite the recent 22 steps forward, 15 steps back, we still plan to have 100 National channels with HD in their logo by the end of the year.
* We'll add more HD LiLs as space and negotiations allow.
* We'll add more National channels with HD in their logo "soon", some of which may actually be ones in this teaser slide.
Dish the leader in Cool Satellite Hardware/Software -- HD... not so much

If you're talking HD output from the tv2 home distribution, I'd think that'd be a pretty big deal.
Read it carefully and look at the pictures. The OTA/ 3/4 outputs are listed as MODULAR. In peeking at the pics it appears it's a removable module. Maybe you'll have to buy a module to use those? Wonder how they'd make that work? Cost savings?
It looks like that is a combiner so the range for TV2 remote is extended or possibley they are doing TV2 Ir and using coax as the Ir sender.
Let's not confuse "tuners" with "outputs."
Both tuners will work with MPEG-2 & MPEG-4. But the TV2 output will only be SD, not HD. TV2 outputs are "in the clear" so the content providers will not allow HD out that way, due to theft of programming concerns.

There is the Slimline-3 coming out. Will do what Eastern Arc does but for D* with everything at 99, 101 & 103 slots. So D* is going the same path E* is going, trying to make installations easy and view areas smaller. E* of course will have options for many though with the Eastern & Western Arcs, advantage E* on that I will concede.
