Tech. Support is already releasing them? Hmmm. No thanks, I think I'll wait a little longer and see how this plays out.

I couldn't agree with you more. I got a small pang of excitement when I saw the 211's were in peoples' hands. Now I'm hearing about the HDMI problems, so I think I'll wait a few months until the initial rush and the initial bugs all washout.

I just called to try and verify this with a CSR. He was willing to sell me a 211, but he really kept pushing that I should wait until Feb. 1 so that I could take advantage of a huge promotion Dish Network will launch at that time (that is the sound of me snickering). Apparently the computer won't let them offer the $49 dollar 211 lease upgrade just yet.

I just tried Tech Support and was told nothing was available until 1/Feb at any price. Time to wait an hour and spin the wheel again.

Our office ran out of 811's in the first week of January and have been installing 211's since. There are a few things I like about the 211. The coax out put is the best advantage. Some people order HD before they have a HD set and with some older TV sets without RCS's it became a pain. I have not installed one using the HDMI so can't comment there. It seems to be a ok receiver from the 20 or so I have installed.

The tech sent me one last week for $50 instead of $49. So, if you wait, you can save a whole dollar. If you need the free Dish 1000, you may need to wait.

I recall a similar emotion in late 2003 when the 811 came out. It's not fixed yet.
