921, superdish and TV Package

[wiggy]

In several different threads there has been mention of a 921, superdish and tv package (40" projection or 34" crt) for $2000. My questions are:

1. date available
2. TV's used

I hope by December 1st. Some one said RCA TV's.
Thankx Wiggy

Called Dish and got transferred to the HDTV group as well. There is no info provided to the CSRs, even on setting up an install on a Superdish or any programming deals to get it free (or even to pay).

Word from recent Baltimore summit: November 1!

The 811, 921 & SuperDish should all be available then. We should all watch the upcoming Tech Talk on 10/13 to be sure.

I would avoid DISH's TV. First, it is made by RCA (they have a very poor record for reliability) and second, DISH had the TV "neutered". If you decide to drop DISH you will not be able to use the TV with any other HD provider (via the DVI port).

In reference to RCA equipment, I have a 52 inch widescreen RCA HDTV and I have yet to encounter a problem with my unit. Wonderful tv.

I wonder if they are going to make full disclosure of that to buyers??
