I could see Dish "showing" several things at the CES, which will it be:
1. More HD channels
2. An upgraded 622, I see them eventually moving the 622 to replace the 625 and have the HD disabled on it unless you pay the enabling fee or sub to HD package... The upgrades one could have more tuners and a larger hard drive. 2 OTA tuners would be nice. I could even see them coming out with a 2 tuner version and drop the 622 tuner (i.e. change the number and make it even cheaper but able to do Dish HD, would be good in all their markets with LiL HD).
3. DPP64 switch or will they make us wait another year
4. A new triple dish covering 86.5/110/119. They could be ready to launch a satellite to 86.5 faster than many think since they have been building a DBS satellite with SES for a "to be announced slot". Actually the lower 48 would probably be good with this satellite, although it might require 2-3 versions for different areas of the country given the large spacing. All the LiLHD on 61.5 markets would probably love a single dish solution. This would also solve the weak 129 problem for many markets.
