real funny u guys know we would like to have all of our channels in hd who would?

 

[Scherrman]

I think you need to tone it down on the HD requests bluegras. Scott already knows so it doesn't need to be repeated so often.

If there is anything of importance to be announced you know you'll read it here asap.

 

[StevenD]

FTFY

I think you need to tone it down bluegras.

 

[bluegras]

Its time to forget about HD and start asking for 4k updates

I think you'd definitely be in the minority on that one. The providers (Dish, DTV, etc..) need to get their HD bases covered (completely) before jumping in the deep end of the 4K pool. Some content is certainly needed, but there is not that much out there, I am sure it is on the way, but with millions and millions of an installed base, HDTV (720/1080) is far from being yesterday's news. 4K is where HDTV was about 10 or 12 years ago right now. Frankly I am surprised at all of the threads here regarding the swap out of all the QPSK equipment for 8PSK. Surprised at how many SD only (and no DVR) customers there still are out there.

I was in the minority for HD too when it first came out

Say what?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

That was just a rumour before team summit and I didn't believe it or report it as I didn't think it was real. (And it's not)

Wallaby is actually the new 211 based on hopper UI

 

[mritt75]

It will have the rf remote as well

Wallaby is actually the new 211 based on hopper UI

A wallaby is a small- or mid-sized marsupial, so it makes sense the "4K joey" a new product of the hopper family to be dubbed that.. Seems like the top guy of the marketing think tank is an Aussie??

It will have the rf remote as well

Do you mean the 40.0 UHF remote?

 

[mritt75]

The way I understood, it should work w/ 40.0, it and upcoming 50.0 (remote previewed at CES)

 

[TroubleshooterMike]

That is correct... My guess it should work with the 20.0 and 20.1 remotes addressed to 1 with IR enabled in remote manager.

 

[mritt75]

Wallaby is not the official name. Vivek just said it was what the product team was calling it.

 

[TheKrell]

Wallaby the new 211? It would make more sense to make the Super Joey into a 211.
