When will BEV get a HD DVR?

[sjpvt]

I subscribe to BEV from the US. I got it primarily to get the HD channels, particularly the US HD Networks which are years away from being availiable OTA in my area. But, I am frustrated by the fact that BEV still does not have a HD DVR and now Starchoice does. I am thinking of switching to Starchoice, but I believe the HD programming is better on BEV. Has anyone heard any rumors on when BEV will finally come out with a HD DVR?

Well, since Dish makes the receivers for ExpressVu, its anybody's guess

Yes...that is what is frustrating. Dish has HD-DVR's right? It seems like it would be easy for BEV to start offering that equipment.

Normally the rule of thumb has been
about 6 months after Dish rolls it out
