942 ($749) Why buy this?

[bdemz]

If it does not support MPEG-4 and will not get NBR, why in god's heavenly name would anyone buy this?

Echostar must be insane to release a box that is obsolete!!!

Look at E*s history, this is what they do.

Dish is counting on a big pool of uninformed consumers to foist this off on and then charge them additional fee (I think Scott quted Charlie as saying "little to nothing"!! HA.) to change it out.

The 942 does have NBR.

I wouldn't buy one though. Its a boat anchor before it hits the street.

Scott you are wise and state things well.

 

[bdemz]

Sorry about the NBR comment.

Scott what else if anything is coming out of CES?

 

[Charise]

I wouldn't buy one either--but I'd lease it.

It's the same stuff they showed at Team Summit, all still seems like ideas to me...
