Whatever its merits as a device, the name stinks.

Yeah, TiVo and DISH Network / EchoStar have an ongoing legal battle. If you search on old posts here you’ll find past posts going back several years.

Wow!

I’ve been tempted by DishNetwork’s all HD packages in the past, but this box just may seal the deal…. I’ll have to take a look at the forums to see how their DVR software holds up… If I remember correctly, they are in some kind of legal battle with Tivo over software, no?

I’m a die-hard TiVo fan, but I have to admit I think the 922 is pretty cool. As an EchoStar employee I’m apparently eligible for some kind of discount on DISH Network service. Before now I haven’t really cared, but I may sign up just to get the 922 to play with it.

Kudos. This is the first DVR that has made me think about leaving TiVo. That and TurboHD Bronze for $30. OTA HD and TurboHD could give me all the channels I watch for less than I pay for analog cable right now.
