Currently, not feasible/responsible/intelligent/cost effective.  The only thing that could change this would be for Dish to launch a 2nd tv Coax adapter that would allow the original Coax to go to TV2 in the home, run an HDMI/comp cable from that converter box into the television like an RF modulator for HD.  Again we're talking about cost issues and how would connectivity work.

Dish has taken a calculated risk in making this receiver which will not be cost effective for the company either.  They'll be taking a hit on these receivers even if they price them at 1000$ to buy.  "Affordable" should not be used in a sentence when you're speaking of cutting edge technology in its infancy.  The first versions are always more expensive.  This does finally allow dish customers to use wireless connectivity though.  I'm sure a lot of dish nuts are going to be going crazy for this receiver but it won't be the majority.  I would be willing to bet a version of Paretos 80/20 rule will be in action when this hits the shelves.  That is to say, 20% of the customer base is going to generate 80% of the profit.  The other 80% are the people who have continuous problems addressing their remotes properly and keeping their kids from unplugging the HDMI cables every few days and blame the equipment for their lack of knowledge about it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DishGuy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 14th 2009 9:20AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DISH Network's ViP 922 and SlingGuide unveiled: first "SlingLoaded" HD DVR]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/08/dish-networks-vip-922-and-slingguide-unveiled-first-slingload/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/08/dish-networks-vip-922-and-slingguide-unveiled-first-slingload/</guid><description><![CDATA[False advertising?

I've been with Dish going on 14 years.  I own 2 722's 1 622 and now a 222k.  I don't have issues with my equipment.  Whenever I do have issues, they resolve them.  If you've had the receiver replaced, people out to your home to solve issues etc;  Consider the idea that it may very well be something in the equipment that was not altered.  That is to say, if everything in a setting is static except the equipment of one company, have you considered the idea that possible low quality cabling (which you provide) could be the issue?  Possible your surround sound set up, television etc;?  It's easy to be cynical of a company.  In my estimation, being that I've been a happy customer with only a few minor glitches in my path, it seems fair to analyze the entire situation before bad mouthing an entire company.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DishGuy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 14th 2009 9:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DISH Network's ViP 922 and SlingGuide unveiled: first "SlingLoaded" HD DVR]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/08/dish-networks-vip-922-and-slingguide-unveiled-first-slingload/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/08/dish-networks-vip-922-and-slingguide-unveiled-first-slingload/</guid><description><![CDATA[back in the spring Dish Network sent a guy over to replace my receiver for a "better" one.

I still have no idea why that is. <br><br>Then again the current ones are rather large and I still only have one HDTV in my house.
