will make available the "New" Interactive channel to its customers ?

will officially make available the 508 and 721 to its customers?

I hate all these news releases they just did and NO dates made available........*sigh*

Its funny, DirecTV announced its new NBC Interactive service on Monday and it was available the very next day to customers with Wink Boxes.

Dish Network has a habbit of showing new products and not making them available for months (if not YEARS) to the consumers.

I do know however that the Interactive content is being tested as the channels are listed on TNGTony's fantastic webpage. So there is hope they will appear soon.

I couldn't believe all the news releases from Dish on Jan 9th and NO dates........*sigh*

Based on the price's of the 501 and 508, I don't think we are really going to want to know the price of the 721.
It's already kinda of a "out of date receiver"

I really wanted the 721, my 501 has been a pretty good machine.......knock on wood.....:)

I still kinda want a 721, but tha Moxi makes me scratch my head and makes me want to wait on it.......Price will have everything to do with the 721, if its to high.....FORGET IT.I already think the 508 is high in price.....LOL

I am predicting now that the 721 will be a flop.

I was looking forward to it but with the news of MOXI, I no longer want a 721 I will wait for a MOXI unit. The only way I will take a 721 is if they make me a good offeer to get rid of my 2 POS Dishplayers.

$499 for a SINGLE TUNER PVR? A Dual Tuner DirecTivo PVR for $99? Whats wrong with this picture?

I ordered it just moments after he placed the pre order on the page.

I have got great service from Dish Depot in the past.
