Well of course, how else would they be able to pay for the "FREE" shipping.
According to the description on the DishDepot website, dual tuner functionality will be "enabled by May 2017" which is "Dish Soon TM"

I know many here "want to rush in"! I would probably would to, but I think my one tuner module is all we need, in that we only use is for an occasional, or regular Late Night sub channel show. I do see it as attractive to those who want an alternative for Dish Locals. Maybe we will to down the line. BUT, I would not buy into it until the software is released and deemed trouble free.
Until it shows up in the Dish store, no one can say. I do recall $59.99 as the planned price, but things change....
Very much so.
I just talked with Dirt and Marek mentioned he had no information regarding the release of it in the Dish store.
Actually that is not an unreasonable markup. Not sure I would pay it but it is not really gouging the consumer.
Generally MSRP already includes a markup--meaning MSRP is not what a retailer pays for a product. That of course may not be how dish handles things, or the price might have changed. And, to be fair, in the end $5 is not a huge markup even above MSRP, although if it's going to be available without the markup elsewhere I bet they don't leave it marked up long
They are VERY legit indeed. Mark at DishDepot is excellent to deal with, I have purchased many items over the years from him. They have great customer service. Usually their prices are the same as everyone else. To me, the service you receive is worth the price.

That's what I was getting at. Wondering if the price has changed since announcement.
Generally, MSRP is the highest price you see items sold for. If the MSRP is still $59.99 and this reseller is selling it for over that, that suggests to me that the availability of the device will be pretty limited and they are taking advantage of this.
Also, and I think this is the key, Dish Depot appears to be taking pre-orders for this item. You know how impatient many people can be, so they'll pay an extra 5 bucks to get it 1-2 days earlier than others.

Did anyone beta test these? Just wondering how it works in single tuner mode vice the existing dongle.
If anyone did, they're not allowed to say.
