i BOUGHT THE 942
I bought the 942, i think leasing sucks. Why should you pay $250, then $10 a month till infinity, they will get you for a couple of grand by the time it is said and done. They will swap the 942 for an MPEG 4 one. By the way MPEG 4 will be at least a year and then MPEG 2 and 4 will coexist, because everyone will have to change their legacy equipment to pro. This is going to take time, swapping 25 million boxes is no joke. this is not voom, with 40,000 boxes this is the big leagues.
Figure you lease a box, $250 up front, then $10 a year which is $120 a year, two years $240, three years $360, 4 years $480 , 5 years $600, 6 years $720. Ihave been a dish subscriber for 8 years we are talking over a grand if you keep leasing it. Buy it $700 its yours. Nothing like owning it yourself. MPEG 4 is not a wonder. It won't give us better pictue. It allows GREATER compression so they can put more picture per unit bandwidth.
so enjoy MPEG 2 in all its glory, and indulge $700 and enjoy that $5000 set. Life is too short guys
