There aren't 30 days in February. Only 29. So I dunno about that.
i agree with you on that.i was hoping for this month geez please make up your mind thanks
I saw the Feb. 30 date and my brain only processed it being the end of next month. All I thought of was that we would have to wait another month. I completely blocked out there not being that many days in Feb. DOH!
Someone from Dish finally responded on the Portal and gave the typical response that they will let us know asap on the Portal when there is an official launch date. I did see another retailer say that they talked to their distributor and they were told the Jan. 30th. Still not solid info though. Wait, wait, wait.........
Just more rumors as of now. It's possible though. If the date of Jan. 30th holds true for when retailers get equipment that would make the 1st a likely date for it being launched for customers. Retailers are suppose to receive equipment 3 days before the launch.
I called a retailer that I saw an ad for and they told me to back Monday. They said no way they get them between now and next week. I'm sure some eill get them at different times. Just passing along what I found out.....
Back in the 1980s at the DECUS Symposiums, people would be clamoring about when this feature or the next release of VAX/VMS would be out. My favorite response was when one of the DEC software engineers answered, "you'll be skiing" to which the questioner asked, "Water or Snow?" The engineer countered with "it depends on the hemisphere."
Remember the FireWire equipped 921? That was "Soon" for the longest time, until it finally died and was reborn as the 921 sans FireWire. Ah, the adolescent years of HD DVRs (or should I say PVRs?)

Lots of us are impatient for the release of the new Hopper. But we will be the same ones crabbin' if they release it with "buggy" software, or CSRs and installers that aren't fully trained.
I've been excited about the new carbon interface since I saw it at CES a year ago. The Hopper 3 is icing on the cake.
I'd rather have them take a few extra days to get it right, than for them to take a major hit if it doesn't work .
Just sayin......

Channel 102 begins "Inside Hopper 3" February 2.
. . . and it was "originally aired" 1/27 . . . I think we've cracked Enigma.
