    Great news! Compared to the $299 price, The Logitech Revue can be purchased through DISH Network for $179! I am a DISH Network customer and employee and got to try it out right after it was released. I have had the opportunity to ask our customers first hand if they are enjoying using the new Logitech product. I have heard only good reviews! I would recommend it to anyone who wants to take the TV viewing experience to the next level.
