Re: DISH Player-DVR 921 or what???

Just wondering.....how many times has Dish upgraded their software. I have several customers with Dish 811(HD, No hard-drive) boxes with similiar problems. I sell HT systems to typical non-hobbiest consumers who know very little and always program remotes with macro's for them so they don't have to think! I like the features on the 921 and would like to recommend it, but it sounds like they are still not ready. Didn't Dish stop selling them for a while?? Then they started again just recently, supposedly with the software issues resolved. I am assuming your 921 is a 1st generation and hopefully the new ones are better. But apparently not, since I would assume you would have got a new one by now. Direct has a similiar box from Motorola, not quite as many features, but at least it seems to be working.
One small technical question. I heard that Dish's dual tuner boxes could modulate the second tuner output to a varity of channels in the 30 to 70 range. Will your 921 do this?
