Well lets do a calculation. We know from DN official count around 15 million receivers with subs. now they started in July to send G3 cards out and according to charlie own CEO they should be done by new year. Now if we divide the 15 million by 6 month (July to Jan) = 2.5 million a month, now we divide that by 30 (days in a month) = over 83,000 cards per day. Now counting in all those that had new cards with new recivers and HD people who already had their card send in before july (earlier in the year) would estimate around 38,000 cards per day should have been mailed out since july to finish by december so that about 250,000 cards per week through UPS needed to be send out.

Now I read somewhere that dish was indeed sending 250,000 cards to customers a week. That would make it finish by december. Also the new cards are relative probelm free to set and very PLUG and PLAY type (read at DN forums about how easy is ti set it up with no issue).

So end of the year looks possible for N2 stream shut down.
