Dish Tech Chat Thoughts
Scott Greczkowski - The Satellite Dish
November 10, 2009
Last night DN held their quarterly Tech Chat with Mark Jackson and Dan Minnick, and while it wasn’t the greatest Tech Chat ever held, it wasn’t that bad either.
The highlight of the chat was the demonstration of the search features of the upcoming 9xx. I sat in a chat room with a good number of members of SatelliteGuys and many were impressed with what they saw in the demo.
One person commented that the search features were so good that he would have a hard time finding the time to watch all of the shows and movies the searches found.
The 922 search not only searches within the satellite guide listings but also searches the expansive DishOnline VOD service as well. So when your in the mood for say something from Chevy Chase there is always something to watch.
Its no secret that I am a beta tester of the Slingloaded ViP 9xx receiver, and while I am waiting for actual release software to base my review on but I must admit I have been very impressed with the progress made on DNs soon to be flag ship product over the past few weeks. It is appearing now that the wait for the 9xx might indeed be worth it.
And while the 9xx was demonstrated last night on the Tech Chat no release date was announced for the product. From what I have seen from the Echo*’s engineers over the past few weeks has me thinking this one could hit the streets before the new year.
Also on last nights show it was announced that Dish was planning on rolling out software from SRS Labs to set top boxes to control the volume levels on the set top boxes. Soon for DN customers they wont have to worry about loud commercials anymore. Dish will be the first company to use this new technology from SRS Labs in their set top boxes
