April 1st is what I am hearing from various folks, in addition the (lucky) beta testers are telling me that the software is almost ready for primetime now.

I want one.

i know someone who was at dinner last night with several higher ups from Dish and E* and heard it for himself. DeFranco was supposed to be there as well but missed it due to a phone call

Wow, in a month the worked out most of the bugs evident in the CES version? Impressive.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

There were not many bugs at CES, the thing that were buggy were the tiles that did nothing or were unfinished.

For example selecting the SIRIUS tile caused the 922k to reboot itself.

All the basic functionality was working fine.

AVS Forum is saying that the DVR Pal was pulled because of tech problems. It's also stopped being carried by some retailers because of customer complaints. The 722k is not yet to market and it would seem the 922 would be sharing some of the same code for its OTA recording as the 722k and the DVR Pal. I hope it comes to market in tip top shape but I won't be surprised if it doesn't show up 'til later in the year.

Interesting. Most places I red about said it had problems with crashing during the demos they did. Maybe just a few tweaks were needed.

I heard it through the grapevine that Lirpa Labs is heavily involved with the QA process on the 922.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Didn't Lirpa Labs make a steam powered turntable a long time ago?

They may really be shooting for Spring. After all, they have these things plastered on various pages on their web site:

Last I heard was by the end of summer which would mean in Sept.

I think it will be a vicotry if they get it out by CES next year.
