Very sorry Mr. Smith. Please see retraction above!!
Pardon my asking, but how do you know that for a fact?Nope, all FW spooling without encryption,
Aren't many of these boxes using the same components? Don't you think someone could use their software (and hopefully improve it) somewhere else? Isn't Dish's guide far and away better than the competitions'?anyway who need it protected if it process just FTA OTA signals ? <snip>
Looks like you can order one now for $40 here:

Edited to add this from the FAQ:
What is the difference between TR-40 CRA and DTVPal?
TR-40 CRA is a special limited production version of the DTVPal. Offered at the government coupon price of $40, the TR-40 CRA includes the highly-acclaimed features and functionality of the DTVPal.
My 2nd coupon was expired on 10/2, so I had to call Dish to order a TR-40 (website wouldn't let me order as a Dish Network customer) which arrived yesterday. Set up was as easy as you could expect. Here are some observations:
7) Remote: I like the TR-40 remote with some reservations. It feels familiar to my hand (as well it should; it is a Dish remote, after all). It does not control my ViP 211, but my ViP remote works with the TR-40. I'm not sure how that works. But, you tune the TR-40 like a Dish ATSC receiver, so 22-1 is tuned by typing a leading zero, or "0221". Dish should have taken the "*" or "#" key and made it the "-" instead. Also, it can not control a TV, so unless your TV remote can control a Dish receiver (not likely for most NTSC-only TVs), you're dealing with two (or more) remotes. The Zenith DTT-901's remote will control a TV's power, but that's it. end quote]
Hi,
Just wanted to correct the comment about the DTT901 remote. It will also control volume, channel changing, mute, etc., when you're in digital. If yours isn't doing it, go back & look at your guidebook; if the instructions there don't solve the problem then you have a defective remote.

I have to say I am VERY impressed.
Thank you for doing this
Looks like my only complaint would be the power plug.
I wanted to use a cigarette power adapter and it looks proprietary.
I also didn't want to use a power inverter as that uses more energy and drains the trailers battery faster.
Do you know of there will be a adapter being sold by Dish or 3rd party so this would become portable and great for a emergency.
