Most intersting of the topics. Wonder if they will they let us trade in our DUO 622s and 722s that they were encouraging and giving away only a few years ago before the 612 came about.
This may be their answer to many of us complaining about the high fees. I would expect them to charge us and then require a commitment extension to boot....
To me single-tuner means the ability to view and/or record only one live program at a time - so I assuming it would be like the 211 w/hard-drive. The 612 is dual-tuner DVR with output to only one TV output (TV1), while the 722 (DuoDVR) can output to TV1 and TV2.is it a single tuner like a 211, or is it a single tuner like they call a 612 because it only outputs to one tv?
I wouldn't get excited about the new signle tuner DVR.
It's just a 522 in which the agile modulator in it does not work and has been rebranded a SD Solo 512 receiver.

Bob, that should be your new signature.Expect the worst, so your never disappointed
UNbelievable! Here are some choice quotes from that doc:Like Scot said, it's just a 522 with output for just one TV. Look at the picture:

Does this mean an EHD is in the works for this receiver, as well as "real" 522's and the 625? I find this sort of nonsense (crippling equipment and charging less for it) seriously annoying. I wonder what would happen if you remove the caps?• At launch, the model 512 DVR will NOT support external hard drives.
• TV2 Power and Mode lights will remain on the receiver however they will be
disabled.
• All references to TV2 will be removed from Menus and Error Messages.
• TV2 output connections will remain on the receiver but they will be capped off.
These outputs are disabled.
I hope that includes a 922 release date and pricing.

Um, if you get one it would be the primary and not charged $21, just $10 instead of $6.HDRoberts,
When Dish does announce the 922, judging by the new equipment pricing. The secondary receiver fee for it might be like $30 per month to discourage current customers from getting one
Edit; I posted the above as a joke, obviously I wasn't far off, $21 per month to use a 922 DISH CAN S&^K IT. I only hope this blows up in Dish's Collective faces.
John
Yeah I saw that... $8 a month more to have a 922 on your account.
Its cheeper to go out and buy a Slingbox and hook it up.. and the real slingbox will give you more flexability and wont cost you extra per month just to watch your TV elsewhere.
I read that as, if the 922 is the primary receiver, the $10 fee takes the place of a $6 DVR fee, so it is $4 more, but maybe I'm wrong.One DVR Service Fee will apply per account with at least one DVR receiver active (excluding accounts with at least one 922 receiver active, to which a $10.00/mo. Premium DVR Service Fee will apply).
Expect the worst, so your never disappointed
And we’ll introduce a new low cost single tuner DVR.
