I suspect you got 119 like the rest of us, and it just has the fix for the guide problem that we saw last week. See my post in the
pvr/dvr forum.

oooops...

I meant 119 for the 721.

I guess this is a maintenance release since there does not appear to be any additional enhancements, ugh!

OK. Hate to do this, but it's been a long time since anyone has added a post on this one, and the one question which really remains is when we will we get it? Seems silly to even ask, since any prediction of a release is doomed to be wrong. But here I am asking anyway. Any ideas? . . . frustrated

I like the 721's guide. Although I think the best guide on a Dish Netwrok receiver was the Origional Diishplayer.

I also like the guide and menus on the 522

Scott,
The guide and menu's are what I love about the 721. Do you know if they plan to add it to any other PVR or and other receiver for that matter?
