Can anyone explain why the price of the dish 942's are so high on Ebay? Most are going for well over $300. I would have expected them to drop after the 622's with MPEG 4 came out. Someone paid over $560 recently.

I want one for the OTA HD and recording but I don't need the other HD channels dish sells.

Is there gold in them there 942's??

And most won't be able to activated for an HD package. It will basically be a two tuner sd receiver with OTA.

i wonder if people don't understand about the issues with MPEG-4 compression...

BUT, that OTA WILL work on OTA HD - W/OUT the BS $6 "enabling fee" - maybe they are fetching this price from people that ONLY care about OTA HD & not a bloated HD metal pak.
Also, doesn't the 942 have the higher speed USB connection for the Pocket Dishes?
