According to what I saw at their release site the other night CG it sounds like its running very well after the beta files were loaded....didn't hear anyone complaining about it yet. So far everyone over there was pleased.

Thanks for the update ... I hadn't seen what the outcome had been ... good to know though, more options for those that like to extend (keep) their options open.

I understand that the wiznet program is needed for this also

It is usually "the silence" means it is working smoothly.

When you hear something about them, something is usually not working so good.

Sonysat receiver forums have been rather silent for quite awhile.
Thought I would just mention this fact about testers with their SonySats.
They are usually quite silent. They just might have the best testing support.

Thought I would bump this for others to read at the same time.

Nice thread guys.

Are the Show-Me X2's not back ordered or something? Reports suggest that they might be. Anyone know for sure?

Makes one wonder when the sonysat channel list on the bottom of the page refers to sonysat 360 elite premier and 8000 units.......... is someone confused? or a typo or a scam? or same website builder?
