I've read all the reviews on this system that I can get my hands on and I am really impressed with the features, (compared to my current Dish setup). The only issue I have is that I have received and read conflicting opinions on transferring DVR shows from my current box to the new on. I have an external HD that I am currently using to back up shows. Has anyone backed up from an older box to the new one? I don't mind playing them off the External HD, (I'm currently doing that with my old system). All in all the features look great to me for the upgrade. Voice command remote, find my remote, 16 channel recording to DVR and remote viewing app for iPad, etc.
