Then you will know the joys of big screen ownership. Bazongas. InfK: Yeah, unless the Dish DVRs can be easily hacked somehow or something, I don’t see the point.

What little info I have seems to indicate that I'll need to register it in some way with Echostar, and presumably pay the fee thereafter. But it seems like they would have no resale value if that's the case, since they'll give you one pretty much for free if you sign up for the service. I could keep working on getting my standalone Tivo working but the 1-second delay it adds to channel surfing response times gets old quick. I'll worry about bigger, sharper images later...
