Question: I have a 921 HD DVR.

Do you have an ETA for the next software update to fix the OTA tuner bug

problem??????????????

This is the one item that REALLY keeps the 921 from being the top product

that Dish is striving for

I guess we have to just wait.

I spoke to Ron H. at the show and he said they were shooting for the 14th for the new software. That is tomorrow so let's see.

I just got a note from Echostar a few moments ago, it says that if testing goes OK that the software should be released before the end of the month.

Judging from the email I don't think a release tommorow is going to happen.

It better be in time for the Super Bowl! As it is now, I can't even watch OTA. Freezes instantly or a few minutes later. And this is with really strong signal strength.

Do you get the CBS HD Channel from DISH? If so, you can watch it!
