OK, first a comment, then a question
. My comment is this, everyone sounds like they are waiting for Feb. 1st so they can run out and get the new 622 (which is called Vip622, so there, that defines it from the DVR625
) When has Dish ever released anything when they say they will, and since when has Dish released something that actually worked out of the box? I wouldn't buy one of these boxes until a few months at least goes by and they work out the bugs that I am sure it will have, and that is if they actually release it on 2-01-06.
Now my question, if Dish is still working on upgrade plans to move current customers from MPEG2 to MPEG4, then why is it I've seen people on here talking about getting a Vip211 with little or no $? And why is it, I've read that Dish can't promise that a person will get a 211, 811, or 422, when they order a 211, if that is the case then can those deals that people have wrote about, really be trusted (not the people writing, but on Dish's side of the equation?)
Anyways, I'm going to stick to Dish for now, but I'm not going to hold my breath, done that too many times already. But if it all works out the way everyone says it will, and after a few months of being released, I'll upgrade to the newest stuff soon.
