About the 522 Receiver??

[MAllen]

I have a 721 (6+ months) and LOVE IT. I still want to replace my aging 5000 in the Master BR. I am hearing a LOT about the 921, but there have been NO recent discussions about the proposed 522 receiver. I am not ready for HD yet (1 36" Sony Wega- 1yr old, and a 36" Mitsubishi - 5 yrs old, and a 20" RCA 6 yrs old) and I am not the the market for a new TV any time soon. From what I have heard of the 522 may JUST BE THE TICKET for what I am after!! Any ideas, specs, when it might be released, etc. etc. I knew of the 721 for WELL OVER a year before it was released.


Dish may not be perfect, BUT it is a WHOLE LOT BETTER than my local cable option!!! I just wish I could get my LOCALS!!!

In April 2002 at Team Summit Dish told dealers about a 522 & a 322 so I would guess it should be promised for about June, will show up about Sept. and working software should be ready about Feb. 2004.

Inital reports say 80GB on the hard drive, I hope that increases before actual production.
