    FLASH: No Name Based Recording on 921, 721, 501, 508, 510

    Just correcting the record, since an incorrect implication was made. No need to be testy about it. I do have Echostar equipment too, though with Bell ExpressVu, so it's always behind the curve of whatever Dish Network releases software-wise.

    who would be willing to pay more money to keep viacom?

    I must say it's kind of amusing to see all the Dish subscribers think it's Viacom on the losing end of a blackout... quite the opposite. How attractive is Dish Network without CBS to some 25% of their subscribers? How attractive is it without CBS-HD to 25% of their HD-equipped subscribers...

    New HDTV Tivo better than a 921 due out in Dec also

    That's not quite true. DirecTV uses a non-standard transport stream, but the video portion is standard MPEG-2.
