Early Dish Pictures from CES

[Neutron]

The guide interface looks light years ahead of the 722 guide. It looks more D* like.... Will DISH upgrade our guide interface with that one?

The guide is the same as the 922...

Yeah, I like that guide better than what we have now on the 722.

Scott's father looks nothing like that.

That's true!

Thanks on the pictures - one request to anyone at CES. Google TV boxes / TV's. If you can get pictures of the about menu (home -> settings -> about) I'd be grateful. Specifically the Model Number / Build Number! Thanks!

So I was leaving CES to head back to my hotel room to dump and edit some video that we took today and on the way out I ran into Snooki!

Man she is short!

Surprised that she would be there...

Must be prototype Hopper

Sure looks like a smart card sticking out in Scott's photo

Nope real working boxes. I opened up the door on the front of the unit so you guys could see what was in there.

They gave me a remote and let me do whatever I wanted, this thing is FAST! (I can't wait to post videos!) The only thing that screwed up for me in playing with it was the PIP would not engage when I first selected it. But turning it off and on again then it worked.

So guys, Is the Hopper a working model or still waiting on software?

It is working, we will show video of same when we can get it uploaded...

If thats the only bug I find then its a lot further along then many think.

It ran FLAWLESSLY (except for the PIP that one time)

Let us know if you run into Brandi.

You might, actually.

I second that as I was filming it while Scott was putting it thru it's paces ...

Man I wish we had a budget like Engadget do we could get a real data line. I would love to show everyone our videos of this thing in action!

If that isn't a plea for more Pub Members / Supporters, well, it should be!

. . . Picture 9 was impressive too . . .

Or is that the dish you need now for the Hopper???

New weapon in the fight against rain and snow fade. Also allows Dish to turn down the transponder power at the satellite.

Here's a question I'm sure can't be answered yet (maybe by existing 922 owners?). In the DVR Recordings, can it be changed to a list format as opposed to thumbnail icons?
