Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
What was announced was a $699 MSRP and $199 for lease.
No information on lease qualifications

When are they planning to start the CMT HD Concerts on 101?
I guess if retailers aren't getting beta 922's until June, then we won't be seeing them for a while yet.

Any news on the channel called "the .mtn"? It would be great to get before college football season?
If true Dish is saying we do not care for our current subscriber base. If dish does this then I will be gone since I will not matter to dish!!!!!!
This has not been a topic of discussion at DISH Network. Given that DIRECTV shelved theirs, I'm thinking that DISH isn't going to pick up the ball.
Actually it will be available to old and new customers on a lease for $199. Just be aware it extends your commitment for 24 months.

Now thats a deal!
Lets just hope they get it right as the last 92x series DVR was a disaster.
Take your time E* as it needs to be bulletprof!!
I played with the 922 here for awhile and it has a way to go. Many of the features on it are not working yet such as recording, tv2 output, no Sling features etc...
I am however told that they are close on all of those and are adding pices one at a time.
The remote takes ALOT of getting use to and no you wont be able to use an old Dish Remote with the unit (at least not at release, however it does have IR support built in so if there is an outcry they can write software and enable it. (I think they should start working on that now.. I suspect there will be such an outcry.
For me I need numbers on the remote and was sorely missing them when playing with the 922. Yeah I could bring up and on screen keyboard and then use the mousepad to pick my numbers, but it would be a lot faster if I had the numbers on the remote for direct entry.

When I saw a picture of that remote on here I was thinking that it might have been a bad idea and they need to have the option for the original DVR remote.
I for one am going to complain long, hard, and loud that Dish only launched LOGO in HD. COMPLETE CRAP!
Don't get me wrong, I am glad that they at least got off their asses after three years and launched the damn channel, but there are still a lot of customers who only have SD programming, and it's not like the channel isn't in SD. Direct, Comcrap, and just about everyone else has it in SD for christ sake.
I guess I am the only one who noticed that this means that Dish will have their own HD channel for promotions - something they have not had since the HD Demo channel.
It allows the possibility of ... cue the scary music ....
... the Charlie Chat in HD ...
