I am sick and tired of reading posts of people demeaning others for anxiously awaiting for a new feature! So you don't care for this feature? So what! Many of us do! This topic has not one but TWO popular threads. So obviously many people DO care about this. So go post somewhere else on something that you might be interested in and stay out of this one unless you have something informative or constructive to pass along!

Man, I haven't slept a wink since I heard a rumor C-SPAN was gonna launch in HD......... :sleeo
100 yr. old congressmen in HD. I think that would cause the TV to instantly explode.
When and where did I say I wasn't interested in this ?? I am, in fact, but I'm not waiting in anxious anticipation of it showing up. When it does, great ! Until then, my life goes on.
I'm sorry, Scott. Wait, you're not Scott. This isn't your website.... Guess you can't tell me what to do.
I have a huge interest in weather but I also know that I can come online and get the info too (and it would probably be less hassle than from the satellite receiver). I would not think that they would advertise these coming soon announcements way in advance to consumers though.
The point was that you obviously don't get excited over this feature that will hopefully be coming soon. And that's fine. One will love it and another will think that it is stupid. But some of us are aggressively looking forward to this. And that is no reason for you to tell someone they are getting "hard-ons" or "losing sleep" waiting for this. There is no reason to be rude to anyone just because they get more excited over something than you do.
as i understand it - you will see a little round blue "interactive" button on your screen (like you do for some of the ads for dish channels) and you can then press select which will load the info onto the screen while you are still watching the channel .. i could be wrong though.
When tuned to the Wather Channel you will see a "Press Select" icon on the screen, if you press select the interacitve application will load.
As I posted in the other thread, the application will begin rollout on Wednesday on 25% of the Interactive Compatable receivers.
Meaning channel 214
What does that 25% signify ?? Do you mean they're phasing it in over a few days or weeks or so ??
All of the 721's, none of the 311's (I am guessing none of the 301's either), 25% of the others which would be 3900/4900/522/625 ? Seems like they are rolling it for the older OpenTv receivers first. In the past they have released software to the older receivers first as if its their reward for having Dish the longest.

ok thanks, i'm not in a major market, so i guess a lot of people will be reporting about this long before i get it on my 625

Where does it say anything about this having to do with the size of the city/market one lives in ??
This information I have received does not tell me what the 25% means or how long it will take to roll out to 100% of the Interactive receivers.
I wonder what time they will implement it tomorrow.Maybe this will be turned on at Midnight tonight or maybe sometimes in the morning it will be there unless your receiver isn't one of them that is getting it tomorrow.I'm hoping since the 301is an older receiver it will get this tomorrow.

It could be 25% of the receiver models (301 but not 311, 522 but not 625) or more likely it could be 25% of the same receiver models (25% of 522 get it while 75% do not).
