Question for anybody who knows the answer - When will the 4700 system be available? I'm waiting to buy that system because I want Dolby Digital output. Dishs web page has been saying "coming soon" for a long time. Marc

Kip... I have been looking for some time and getting more irritated all the time with my cable operator.. My son has direct and he like I don't like the idea of two content providers... I found it at the onsale auction site with a good rebate.. It is a 32 bit system which makes it fast.. I upgraded to the 4000 and subsequently installed a 2700 secondary.. My cost as follows... 4000 delivered to me with installation kit...$155 2700 $125...total $280 I bought a few F connectors and tied it into my cable RG59... (All labor was mine) I am obligated to subscribe to the top 40 for four months at about $20 per month and after 4 months I get a $75 rebate... I immediately went to top 100 and added one premium package for a total of about $40 per month.... I have one provider..one telephone call to charge my visa card.. Nice people helpful to deal with... I think I got a deal... As I said, my son just got his 3000 receiver and is junking his DirectTV. After my experience, he has one friend who bought and another friend of mine installed a 3750 and is delighted..
