That looks very cool! Cross between a scientific atlanta explorer, a dvd player and dish reciever. Im guessing that's not a prototype?

I saw some old threads a few days ago on it. To me it looked like a cross between a 622, 322 and a 722

I loved the 942 dvrs. I had two of them back then and they worked very well. Then they did away with them. They had name based recording and worked great with mpeg 2. The 921 pvr was a nightmare for me and so was the 811 HD receiver. Kept both of them on a surge protector so I could flip the switch and reboot them daily because it was needed. But the VIP receivers are pretty much outdated now and they don't install them anymore.

It's just a prototype, it was never released. They came very close to releasing it, but by the time it was ready the price of DVD players had dropped considerably and they weren't able to produce it at a competitive price point. I think I remember some of the remotes ended up on ebay.
