That is very probable. One of the negatives of the Echostar hardware is the size. The only other receiver that appeared to address this currently was Hitachi. But of course they are burdened with DirectTV/USSB programming, MPEG1, and a 16 bit processor. Aside from the size, Echostar has the best all around package. I just wish some guidance would appear about the mysterious data port, its use etc. And by the way, a sales rep just indicated to me friday that Hitachi will be discontinuing its DSS receiver (unconfirmed).
