Posted: Tue Jun 14, 2005 4:11 pm
For anyone interested, the DISH 942 HD DVR satellite receiver is a winner. It is probably the best STB E* has ever produced, a true competitor to Tivo. It is certainly faster thru the EPG than Tivo. The 942 will output to 2 TVs: TV1 in HD and TV2 in SD. It has two sat tuners and one OTA tuner. The TVs can be in different rooms; TV1 controlled by an IR remote, TV2 by a UHF remote.
The 962 is based on the 942, and is MPEG-4 capable. Release will be sometime in the fall.
The 411 will be their entry level, basic STB. It will be MPEG-4 capable as well as HD. It appears all future STBs from E* will be capable of HD and MPEG-4.
