If they betray that trust then they will be the ones to lose in the end and I am sure they are well aware of that.

My point -- okay my complaint -- is that as a V4 user I feel that they have done a disservice in that there is no way to add one card so that I can get discrete channels from my HD621 into my 861 because were it known to me that the cost of getting 8 discrete channels into my 861 would be i) the cost of the HD621 + ii) the cost of an entire upgrade from a v4 to v6 then I woudl have gone a different route...at the very least they should have provided V4 owners with the option of simply adding this one card because now the cost of getting 7 channels into an 861 is USD 13,5000 (assuming the USD 10,500 is correct)...

And, yes, many will disagree with me but so be it, this is my view...but before telling me that I am wrong I have no issues with the need for a full upgrade for the other goodies...
