Hey Scott, I believe I read somewhere on Moxi's site that the wireless would be 802.11a not 802.11b. Anyway thanks for keeping up with the info on this, as you, I have been waiting for the 721, now it looks like an even longer wait for a Moxi equiped unit. Unless we are lucky enough to have them announce that Dish will be able to upgrade the 721 once Dish is ready to start using Moxi!!

Thanks for the comments!

I doubt that Dish will offer an upgrade for 721 owners due the costs involved (I would be shocked if they offered an upgrade for a MOXI or 721 for Dishplayer owners)

If I was Dish I would not release the 721 or better yet I would drop the PVR-50x line of boxes as their receivers are now way behind what DirecTV has with Ultimate TV and DirecTIVOS.

Its hard to understand why a dual tuner DirecTivo is $79 and a Single tuner Dish PVR 508 is $499.

Thanks again for your post, I hope you post here more in the future.

They are probably going to charge the extra to begin with to offset all the calls that the unit will require for Technical assistance and trouble shooting
:rollin: gv The phones will be ringing off the hook?

The PVR-50x series are pricey, I really wouldn't compare these to DirectTivo's. I think our only comparison will be with the 721.....well maybe not, cause the 721 will have features a DirectTivo doesn't ......*sigh*
