811 now or 411 later

[Musky boy]

Just got of phone with Dish csr. Was looking to upgrade one of my 301's to an 811 and adding HD programming. The csr said that they were going to start offering deals with the 411 as well as programming packages that include more channels but could not provide specifics. I assume that any new HD programming will be mpeg 4 making the usefulness of the 811 very limited.

Does anybody have any info that is better than I was able to get from the csr?

Thanks,

John

Definately wait on the 411, that is my opinion.

I would too... its only going to be a 2 week wait at the most before you will have answers.
