DISH Player-DVR 921 or what???

Posted by Kenreau (A) on January 11, 2005 at 17:10:22

I currently have Dish network service (using the 6000 HD recvr) and have been anxiously looking to get on board with the HD/DVR (HD) OTA all-in-one capabilities and related stuff.

I would have bought this DVR 921 ($995) unit a year ago if they were available. None of my Oregon area retailers could get them. Plus I recall reading that they were very buggy and troublesome with their operating system, crashes, etc. (ala windows 95/98). Grateful now that I held off. I just noticed Dish dropped the price in half to $549. Probably not a good sign. Read someplace about a new MPEG4 generation coming out (who knows when?).

Does anyone have experience with this DVR-921? Did they get all the bugs worked out? With the price drop I am very tempted to try it.

Is there anything that competes with it? (all in one HD/SD/OTA tuners, DVR HD recording, etc). I sure reads like it is a killer all-in-one application, asssuming it works.

Thanks.
Kenreau
