<div class="bbWrapper">Nice pics...what about the EchoStar digital-to-analog converter box...details?</div>

 

[digiblur]

<div class="bbWrapper">TR-50 DVR looks cool. Wonder how much this box is and what other fees are required for OTA viewing?</div>

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

<div class="bbWrapper">And More!!</div>

 

[ripnbigc]

<div class="bbWrapper">The TR-50 would be a nice solution for recording two OTA&#039;s at the same time. Wonder how much?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">What is the Dish 211 + DVR about??</div>

 

[Poke]

<div class="bbWrapper">Hmm 3 new Sats wonder where there going also does anyone know if they make NASCAR Skins for your Dish?? Oh great pics guys keep up the good work! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">If I&#039;m not mistaken, the 612 has been &quot;coming soon&quot; for over a year now. It&#039;s a single TV, multi-tuner receiver, right? <br /> <br /> But if they enable the receivers to share the recorded content over ethernet... that would be just awesome. It *MIGHT* even coerce me into upgrading the 508 in the bedroom. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Dumbass dish forgot to add Pittsburgh to their green dot map with HD locals.<br /> <br /> This company is getting to be a joke.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">On the other hand, it looks like they <i>do</i> have a dot on Scranton, which they didn&#039;t on the Charlie Chat. Hopefully they&#039;ll handle it better than D* did -- they only announced 3 channels out of 6 on the air and then only launched 2!</div>

If it&#039;s such a piece of junk, how about a free upgrade to the 722 for us suckers? I have no desire for HD-VOD, but the bigger hard drive would be nice.</div>

 

[Dgenx321]

<div class="bbWrapper">The 622 is the same as a 722.....<br /> <br /> Just a newer chip set and larger HD.</div>

If I could share content via ethernet between my 622 and a 612, I would replace my old 508 as soon as that 612 became available.<br /> Even if a second device was needed, like the DNLA announcement suggests. I could handle that! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Any pics of the TR-40? That one&#039;s included in the voucher program. The TR-50 is ineligible.</div>

 

[riffjim4069]

<div class="bbWrapper">Don&#039;t let Dish off the Hook until they provide details on the TR-50 and analog-to-digital converter boxes: availability, price, fees, will the converter box support TVGOS, etc.</div>
