Hey this is NateR. I would like to share a few advantages with have the Logitech Revue with Google TV. This box can be intergrated with out 722 receiver box, so when you pull a search on your web with the key board it will pull up all the result through the internet and shows being view through dish and your dvr recordings. With DISH this intergration fee is $4 a month but DISH sell’s the Revue for a low cost of $179.
guess very shortly I’ll be “jumping ship” from Logitech to LG,Vizio or Samsung..sorry Logitech its been fun,but I wish their CEO had more faith in their Revue as the hard working tech support team had..they were very hopeful that Logitech would change its mind..looks like that was a “flatliner”
