OK here what really grinds my gears. This is taken straight off of MS website: "Privacy: We believe that people have the right to not receive unwanted communications.

I work for a Dish Network/Echostar Regional Service Provider. I've been following this story for a while now and am very concerned about it. On the plus side though, Dish has said that it will not be turning any DVRs off as of yet. They have filed an emergency appeal and evidentally feel pretty confident about it (so much so that they told all their employees about it).
I've tried MCE 2005 and was not pleased. Some networking issues have still yet to be resolved. The Windows Media Player that it comes with is buggy and has to be upgraded right away. Over all a good package but its the small things about the OS that really turned me off.
