Yep, I see Speed Racer here too. Too bad about the price though. I'm not going to rent it for that.

so dish dropped it 25%. There is no lossless audio track for this movie, only 640k DD.
Either they (Dish) or we just don't get it.Yep, this month's special. $6.99. Good luck with that price.
The consensus has been pretty clear. I don't think I've seen a single person anywhere on this forum indicated they would probably continue to rent 1080p offerings when the price went up to $6.99. On the other hand I remember many posts of people adamantly disclosing that they would NOT.
That kind of makes the whole thing a bust, so why did Dish bother? Are they really that out of touch with marketing reality? Or do they know something we don't? Now admit it, don't ya just love to start the week with a good 'ol conspiracy theory?

I was just browsing this site doing some reading. I noticed a lot of people want to view all of their content in 1080p.
Check out the following link, I bought a pretty cheap video scaler from these guys, and I have loved it. maybe some of you guys would enjoy it as well.
It is made by some company made Atlona, I found their products on tigerdirect.com and then realized it is in CompUSA as well.
I cant post the link for some reason. but if you go to atlona.com and search for at-hd560 you will find it.

This is kinda old, but I didn't see anyone address this issue, so I will. The component outputs are NOT blocked, and in fact send 1080p just fine. At least on both my 622 and 722.
Now not many TV's will accept a 1080p signal via component, but the VIP receiver DOES output it.
My Pioneer Kuro Plasma accepts it, and will play it no problem via component. (As well as HDMI.) My Samsung LCD bedroom TV, which is actually a little newer will NOT accept it via component, it just puts up a message about "unsupported input format" or something.
On a related note, my 722 and 622 seem to download a very different set of VOD movies; my (new) 722 only downloads HD movies for VOD (9 HD movies after having it 3 weeks), nothing else, whereas my 622 usually downloads only SD movies, except for the solitary 1080p offering.
At the price Dish is now asking, I'll never watch one again.
Considering the new arrangements with Netflix, I wonder how they're going to justify their pricing for a single movie a month.
Edit: oops, that was TIVO, not Dish.

I wondered about why there seemed to be a difference about what gets downloaded on a 622 vs a 722 as reported here by the folks. Maybe not all. Your findings echo mine. One HD(1080P) and lots of SD's on my 622. As for $6.99...
