Anything can happen, but doubt it. Remember the HS17 has 15 tuners NOW, just not enabled in the software for customer use.Could the HS-17 not go over well and maybe get a lot of customers not ordering. Then DTV decides to do a 16 tuner server that outputs to 4k over HDMI. It would also have 802.11ac, quad core processor, and 4 gigs of ram.
