Team Summit Press Event

Maybe I'm just setting myself up for a disappointment, but I somehow suspect it'll be something more than OTA and/or seamless integration.

I was thinking just the opposite. :( The last mystery announcement that Scott reported turned out to be so feeble... I can't even remember what it was!
 
There's no Android build for the MIPS CPUs.

IIRC the Pandigital Android tablets (available for around $60) feature a MIPS microprocessor, so that can't be right. Did you mean the Atom inside a Logitech Revue? That too most certainly is running Android. 3.1 on mine and 3.2 promised.

Just reposting what was sent to the media.

I am thinking they must have something if thousands of retailers are flying out to see it this week and they are calling in the press to see it as well. I guess we will find out in 2 days. :D

Thinking the same thing...It would be like Dish to hype a big announcement and it turn out to just be an announcement that you get two PPV coupons for upgrading to the Hopper. :blah:

(But it would be nice if it really is OTA related! :) )

I stand corrected, there is Android running on mips CPU variants.

No, I don't mean the atom, which is an Intel CPU.

Yes, and I was not casting aspersions in your direction, but rather in Dish's direction. Earlier this year (?) they issued a mystery statement about something big, very similar to the one in your post #1. But it turned out to be rather modest, and I still can't remember what that last one was about.
 
I'm going to guess it's expanding PTAT to more than just the 4 networks. Allowing a DVR to record "10 or more" shows at a time sounds press-worthy.
 
I posted when the Hopper first was talked about that it's a no brainer to have other groups be able to record at once. Maybe?
 
I don't think it will be a more tuner Hopper as folks that have just got the current Hopper I would think would be pretty ticked; especially, with the Hopper really just being released.

Dual Hopper support seems more likely ... however ... with the nodes ... this was always known.
 
I don't like that idea, put me out of a job...

Not to mention that the unpredictable performance of Wireless in an environment that needs predictable performance is a recipe for tech support hell.

I'm not anti-wireless but I don't see this as being tenable for the content delivery. Broadband features though? Yeah.
 
Hmmmmm "Beverage?" ...... Like a Beverage antenna? for wireless.........

Question about the broadband usage by the Hopper (xbox live question)
