A few DAYS!Perhaps next year you should stay at an adjacent hotel.
I doubt that would help much. Having been to Vegas several times, I think reasonable internet speeds are against the law out there. They want you gambling, not surfing the net!
Whats kind of funny is every time they have to add an award to the box they have to hire two union guys to come over and open the box.

That is just absurd. Although that is probably a discussion for the Pit.
They ought to. Certainly more interesting than anything else going on at CES, IMHO.
Are you saying it will be a replacement or are you asking if it will be a replacement for the 211?
Unlikely. AFAIK so far, the SJ will not work without a Hopper. There is no reason to think the SJ has any software for aiming a Tailgater, X1 or X2, either.
The ViP211Z, the ONLY ViP series STB still in production, will probably be around for a few more years.
Do we know this is absolutely true, 100%? I'm assuming it is but I have no idea yet. I wonder if these types of Joeys are what will replace all the VIP equipment someday.
I believe it to be true, at least right now. Certain people have said it to be true and I believe that person....
Maybe a single sat tuner Hoppette one day, so all Dish wiring is MOCA? Still leaves the Tailgating option unmet- such option possibly going by the wayside one day anyway.
I'm sure it is true but I imagine there being a standalone receiver that can be compatible with a Hopper available at some point. I'm not sure if they will keep the 211 around for that long.
It has everything needed to be a standalone box, even a hard drive port. Only thing needed is software and we do not know if it has standalone along with client software yet.
It is definetly a client, just like the current Joeys and won't be able to act as a stand alone receiver.
From everything that Vivek stated,and I have watched it twice,I have to agree.The SJ is client only.Dish still needs to have some lower end receivers for certain customers,the 211 fits that bill.
