I believe it'll never come, because they're probably arguing about IF to charge for it, and IF YES how much. Arguing because I think some people there think that there's not enough subscribers that would be interested in this service, or lets say to pay for it. Since Cable offers that service for free in some areas, consumers will say: To Hell With It! On this forum are alot of enthusiasts, like me, but that's only a fraction of millions of subs. How many subs have a 622? It might not be enough of 622 users out there that would wanna pay for it, to justify the costs to create Dish branded hard drives and ask money for it. They might not get rid of enough of those to make their cut. Also people are already having alot of BS fees they're paying for each month, so really bother them againg with another fee and piss them off even more? Another factor will be copyright protection, if somebody attempts to rip HD shows of the drive, and maybe burn the on DVD? Don't say it's impossible. ANYTHING can be cracked! Like DVD's have protection, and there's programs out there that cracks it again. New ArcoSS protection this week, well here's an update version of the new decrypter. Somebody out there has the ability to rip and encode HD content off a Dish hard drive to burn on DVD's, and they'll do it! So there's my three reasons why it might not come at all. Wait there's a fourth reason: Since they might think. that not enough people want to pay for this feature, Charlie is NOT gonna give it away for free. They rather scrap it! Remember, the scrapped it for the 942, and WHY? Because the 942 is obsolete, or will be obsolete soon. Also remember they were saying in the Tech Chat, that it's "working like a champ, just trying to figure out how to SELL it" It was already working a few months back at Team Summit! Somebody told Scott a few days ago, that it'll come mid December, now they're talking about first quarter...BULL!
