No difference in support of internal distro if both are available.
Having availability to BOTH would make it easier and less expensive, being able to use RG6 or Cat-5/6 existing wiring.
Quite idiotic to limit only to coax.
I've only seen "ethernet over Moca" devices, not the other way around. Do you have any links?
Ethernet will most likely allow users to have ethernet where ever the box is. Reasoning is future TV integration, as well as other ethernet technologies that may come to be. Customers may have a SOHO Router/Firewall near one of the 110 boxes.. thus by plugging in there with ethernet, opens up the whole set of 110's and the 813's to have ethernet backfed.
And that makes sense!

Pace supplies the Directv Home Network system and says it is moca and supports both coaxial and ethernet.

A four room install with only one coax and a slinglink adapter sounds like a dream to me.
Any more info out on the "Nodes" and what they are? Smashing two bandstacked lines together should support 4 tuners and I'm wondering if the three tuner design was just cost or a technical problem.
I'd guess it was just cost since the duo node takes 3 antenna inputs and supports 6 tuners on 2 813s.
Will Logitech Revue be able to work on these new XIP receivers? I notice it isn't listed as working on the Dish 922.

A have a question about the XIPs (and I apologize if this has been answered). The 110s are supposed to act as thin clients to the 813. The 813 has HDMI and component connectors on it. According to what I have read, each 813 can support up to 3 110s. So, if I have 4 TVs in my house, would one 813 and 3 110s sufficiently meet my needs? or will I need to stack 2 813s and 4 110s? I suppose this will all get answered on the release, but inquiring minds want to know!
I claim one 813 will support one directly-connected HDTV and 3 more via the 110's. It's totally unclear (to me at least) what happens if 4 people want to watch something different. I imagine at least one will have to watch a recording.
I think they will allow two max... I remember Scott mentioning if you needed more tuners you could add an additional 813 and the recordings from that second DVR would be playable though the first. The boxes just pool all their resources together. Might change by the time the box ships though.
That is probably true for lease customers. But, I suspect as in the past you can buy more if you need to do so.
Will it be the 813?
I heard an unsubstantiated rumor that the 813 has been overhauled already and will not be what we saw at Team Summit, but something altogether different. Has anybody else heard something along this line??
