Introduction

I can't remember a time when a product had more hype (or potential) than when Google announced GoogleTV. The trouble was, the leaked video and descriptions were somewhat vague and nobody truly had a real grasp on what the technology would hold. We, of course, wanted to get our grubby little hands on it as soon as earthly possible - and that was facilitated by our relationship with DISH, who sent us a Logitech Revue as soon as they had one in-hand. For anyone truly looking to unlock the full power of GoogleTV, realize that DISH is the first (currently only, as far as we know) to fully integrate their DVRs with GoogleTV without the use of IR emitters or a convoluted interface. With most DVRs, there would be no way to access recorded material, or even program new recordings from the guide via IR, due to the complexity of the tasks involved - at least not without a really manual, unimpressive process. While the newer DVRs and set-top boxes have the potential to integrate well, DISH jumped all over it and we're able to review the Logitech Revue with full DVR integration with a VIP 722 HD DVR.

Rumor has it that Google has been working to update these boxes to Honeycomb, but I find it unlikely


There's already a 3.1 beta in the wild. Maybe they'll finally add FLAC support. It'll be like one of 3 turnkey devices that actually does.

How well does this thing upscale SD video if at all?

Dish is offering the Logitech Revue for $179


I have a ViP 622 receiver in my theater. I wonder if I'd get the same features as Clint got with the ViP 722 receiver.


Great offer there. Will consider it after the discounted.
