Dish 501 upgrade?

[andrzejpw]

Does anyone know when the dish 501 will be getting local channels mirrored to the sub 100 range?

[Mark Holtz]

"Soon". A message posted last week indicated that a upgrade will be coming down that will also open up the OpenTV portal. ETA is 3-4 weeks.

Any idea on whether they will be putting a feature to do a date and time search like the Dishplayers?

[Jacob S]

How about a channel search as well where you can search to see what is on just one channel for the whole week.

Sounds good.

Also, what about the Dishplayer guide caption? ie aving a little blurb when you move throughout the guide so you don't need to hit the "Info" button each time (like the Dishplayer/721)?
