Well, I just got the call tonight to lease a 942 which kind of surprised me since I've only been with DISH for a year. It only took 9 days and 3 e-mails.
I figured "what the hell" and went ahead with it. It sounds like the new HD stuff (ESPN2HD, Voom) is going to be MPEG 2 so I really have no reason to wait for the MPEG 4 HD-DVR. If they start rolling out HD locals in January like they say, at 5 new markets a month, I should get them in market #65 by sometime in 2007. Hell, my local CBS isn't broadcasting HD yet and my local Fox isn't even broadcasting a digital signal.
