Questions about the new XiP Receivers?

[Scott Greczkowski]

Any chance you discussed the ability to diplex OTA, or other signals (such as cable internet)?

I asked and you should be able to diplex a cable modem.

OTA might be able to be done however ome UHF signals may interfere with the MoCA signal.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Don't hold me to this but I believe you can use Ethernet too.

Ok I checked on this one and I was wrong. It must be coax to the box.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

What remote controls are compatible with the 813?

A new 40.0 remote will be used.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Since the 813 has an eSATA port , could you connect an EHD that way? And if so, could you connect 2 EHDs at the same time (one via eSATA and one via USB)?

I am told YES! You can also hook up drives to the 110 boxes and they will be automatically shared to the network.

hmm guess my ? didnt make the cut scott you skipped right over it

 

[goaliebob99]

Are you going to be charged based upon how many tuners you use with the 813, or will you also be charged for the 110's? Meaning can I add as many thin clients and will I be charged for each tv a thin client has. I could easily see myself going with 3 813's and a few OTA tuners, to a total of 5 Tv's.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

can this xip record 5 streams at once?

Didn't know the answer to this one so I just asked and from what I am told the answer SHOULD be YES.

I don't believe they have released any info on pricing. We probably won't find out the pricing structure until it's close to it's release date. Too many things can change so I doubt they'll discuss pricing for a while.

That is not decided yet, that is up to DISH. All the people I have been dealing with on the XiP stuff have been from Echostar.

BTW to anyone here at Summit, am sitting at Base Camp if you want to come on down and talk. I do have a 3PM meeting here but would love to say high and talk shop.

 

[Scherrman]

I'm listening to the speaker right now.

An iPad.

I used both of them and both are VERY buggy.

 

[Scherrman]

Well I have an iPad but will be able to get one the the android tablets from being a retailer.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I would go with the XOOM.
