Has Dish Comm Technology been activated in 622 & 211 Receivers?

[DSquared]

The question says it all. I have a 622 connected to a phone line and a 211 where it is impossible to connect to a phone line.

According to what I have read that if Dish Comm technology is activated all that is required is that one VIP player be connected to a phone line for features such as caller id to be available to VIP units that are not connected. The signals would be sent through a home's internal electral wiring.

Information please!?

Not activated YET. I expect it to possibly be active around the June / July timeframe. There is a active rumor going in the pub area about the DishCOMM and what it may do soon (lots more then just share you phone line thats for sure!)

Of course, some people were confident that external USB devices would be supported in January....and we're still waiting (won't even go into NBR and other Dish features on some receivers).

Thanks Scott. I'll remain patient. Have had the 622 and 211 for 5 days now. No reboots, sync problems, or BSOD. The HD in the 622 is so quiet compared to the 921 that I almost was going to call tech support and complain that the HD wasn't running. My wife assured me it was running--but super quiet.
