All,
I have two 722k's with OTA connections scheduled for install. I don't have any venom toward Dish or anybody else, I do not like hyped vaporware and the 922 has been "reviewed" and on display all over the web and at electronics shows for entirely too long to not be out in the marketplace. I have been holding out for it but finally gave up and will just do it later when they actually do get it debugged and out for sale.
As for those that are the pseudo-lawyers posting here - Thanks for the input. In fact I have read all of that stuff and if you want to look at the underlying reason Dish lost the suit to begin with, and the contempt finding, you will find Dish claimed all along none of their actions violated Tivo's patent(s). They claimed then, and now, that their technology worked around Tivo's patent(s). They made and make these claims and I guarantee you they would make the same claims about the 922. Those are totally specious remarks and not at all germane to whether the delay is due to litigation or technical reasons. However, with the litigation on appeal, hundreds of millions of dollars at stake, having lost at every level of their litigation; to not see the possible connection between the delayed release of the 922 and the litigation means someone can believe whatever they want to believe. I just don't see the reason for the personal attacks on me, but since you have why don't I pitch this - Is anyone adamantly advancing there is absolutely no possible linkage between the litigation and the delayed 922 release perhaps operating as an agent for or stockholder of one of the parties to the litigation? I can state unequivocally I am not involved in any shape, form or fashion. But, the personal attacks on me seem more than a little over the top for someone simply believing and stating the delay is over debugging and beta testing the product...they are too defensive.
I started this post off looking for an idea of when the 922 would be out. The thread has devolved into a number of responders personally insulting me and making uncalled for posts. To those that came to the thread looking for 922 release date fact or intel, my apology for you having to suffer the indignity of reading all this other "stuff." To those that have a 922 and are beta testing them, thanks for that. There is a "DISH 'n It UP" special on the 722 through the end of January. That a deal on them would run that far out is a hint at perhaps when the 922 will be released. If someone could say unequivocally that the 922 would be out in two months, six months, a year; that would give me the opportunity to make a well informed decision. And I am looking at two of them so the decision has some financial implications for me. Instead, after waiting this long and with no end to the wait in sight I just can't wait any longer and will have to go the 722k route.
