CSRS getting spec lists for mpeg 4 dvr

[Questioner]

Usually with directv that means a product is coming out in a month or two, but I have my doubts, some csrs are still insisting it will.

 

[newsposter]

are you making a statement that csrs have a spec sheet in hand and not just promotional materials?

 

[Questioner]

Yes, that is what I have been told.

It's looking better than it did a couple of months ago.

Last night I was told that they will be released at the end of the summer and the units were in testing right now and that ther ewer eno reported problems (how would she know the problems though). She was an elevated technical service representative.

ther ewer eno

?

 

[charper1]

= there were no

This should be nice once all the bugs are worked out.

= there were no

It took me awhile to decipher it, too! Must have an itchy space bar thumb!

Well, if spec sheets are out, let's hear the details!

 

[Questioner]

I talked to a csr yesterday, I couldnt get them to give many details, but apparantly there are going to be 2 versions of the new dvr, and it will come ready for media sharing, not that that will be possible for a while.

Thanks for the translation - sometimes I type in jibberish

Would this other option be the HMC that has been rumored for so long ??? seeing media sharing was mentioned ....

I think D* would rather sell the HMC over the DVR, more potential for growth.

Hoopefully, they will not release until the bugs are worked out and MPEG4 is corrected.
