Has anyone successfully ordered and received a Logitech Revue from Dish? The Dish web site still indicates that they are out of stock and does not allow you to place an order. I called and talked with a CSR who really couldn't do anything but tell me to try again later.

I have had a problem with my 721 for quite a while now and would like to verify with other 721 owners that this problem is not unique to my system. I have noticed this with HBO shows with audio transmitted in Dolby 5.1. If you attempt to skip forward or back while watching a Dolby 5.1...

I saw the same two issues. I've reported this before, but HBO's Dolby Digital shows on the 721 screw up the skip back / skip forward function. The receiver seems to be stuck for ~ 5 seconds whenever you try and skip back before resuming. It's an annoying defect, but really is a pain...

I have personally seen this as well. I subscribe to HBO and see it all the time on DD broadcasts. I have learned to not skip forward but to fast-forward to avoid the several second delay in reacting to the skip commands. I'm not entirely certain it is always related to DD. It could be...

I have listened several times over several hours and I hve noticed that on my 721 the hard drive does not spin down when the unit is off. I thought DISH said that they will spin down the drive in order to 'save' the hard drive, but I can't confirm that this works. I believe all they have...

Ooops sorry about that.. acronym confusion on my part.

The articles do explicitly say that the unit is an HDD recorder. Here's a quote from this article: http://www.gamespot.com/all/news/news_6076490.html

I just read some interesting articles about the new Sony PSX. It's a Sony PS2 game player, a DVD player and a 24X DVD burner, an HD-DVR recorder (although I get the feeling it is a single tuner). It's available only in Japan, but is priced very aggressively $725 for 160Gb, $906 250Gb. At...

I don't see a need to worry about the fragmentation that occurs on a DVR hard disk for SD content. A DVR reads and writes SD content to a hard drive at a relatively constant and relatively low bit rate compared to the drives maximum transfer capacity. The delay introduced by fragementation is...
