|  [SRS] When will DW6000 be made public/upgrade promotion?
Anybody know when this unit will be avaiable to purchase. Looking for a picture of it, is it just one modem with rx and tx together. I hope direcway or var/lincsat will have a upgrade trade in option. Will this be the new unit that will be shipped with all new kits.

Sitting on needles, eh?
We all hope to see it soon here in Canada of course. But if it's handled like the DW4020, they (LinCsat) may still insist on testing the unit, by the time the first DW6000 show up on eBay. Sorry about the sarcasm, but there is a DW4020 on eBay right now and still not much of a sales pitch for it on the LinCsat website.
Which is good in a way. The lack of information has kept me from wasting my money on a Windows machine or the 'DW4020 Tinkerjob', as neither was an acceptable solution, for me anyway.
I bet a lot more of the 4020 units will go cheap on eBay, after people see the DW6000 released.
So when it shows up in the States, I hope they will have a good supply and that it's truly plug & play.
Yes I'm on needles also and very close to offering a REWARD for the first unit north of 60° or even the border!
Keep the (gold)pan, just sell me the modem!

| My angle is as follows:
The bleeding edge technology is getting cheaper and cheaper, we have DirecPC, One way satellite systems, Direcway, Two way satellite systems (DW3000, DW4000, DW4020) and soon DW6000.
This is great news for those who want a less cost solution for their broadband woes. Amen
Again the consumer must be knowledgeable on what they buy, but in the long run this technology got cheaper.

| David,
The post above yours shows the DW6000 from the front, right or am I wrong?
Or does the DW6040 look the same as the DW6000?
Just wonder if someone's mistaken, with the pix title.
The other thing. The moderators seem to be quite on edge about someone breaking the Beta Test NDA, understandably.
I'd love to hear more, but don't want the topics locked, if someone asks the wrong question.
My question to you would be, whether the DW6000 is truly Plug & Play. If it were, and if it came available as a package only from DW in the States, I'd like to get one, even if that means wasting the dish.
I am set up with the DW4000 and my 'dream come true' would be a simple exchange of the modem.
So my main question is, if this can be done without installing anything into the DW6000 from a Windows PC, or the re-commission thing.
I think the exact install procedure would interest the folks around here.

They are the same.
This shouldn't be locked, because i am not under the beta testing. My info come from the direcway training website.

Don't count on any such limitations. Either sources or satellites.

First part may have some truth to it, second is a pile of moose droppings!
Let's don't post these rumors, please!

| Mikofox- there is only one active gateway for the DW6000 at the moment- on G3R. They are bringing up G4R but I was told that it will not be available on G11 in the near future- same as the DW4020 is not available on G11- overcrowded and little or no space to grow. Not rumour those are facts told to me by Direcway and DirecTV folks in US. I am also told that there is no active upgrade program but I am sure that will change fast enough- there are still lots of markets for used DW4000 modems.

Sorry, don't buy it!
Spoke to LinCsat the other day and the DW4020 is available on G11 for some time now. Installers, correct me if I am wrong.
I would expect the same to be true for the DW6000. Since the new modem is going to replace both the DW4000 and DW4020 after stock of these run out, one would assume it will be available on all three DW satellites.

Did anyone notice that they are only saying that you will get around 56K upload with the 6000 and up to 500K download they have backed away from the 128K that they had on the 4000 |

I noticed that the link that wolfridge posted to the .pdf file at Perfect 10 is now a FAQ. Here's an interesting snippet...
Q: Is there a cost difference between the DW6000 and the DW4000? A: Yes, only for the DIRECWAY System hardware. The DIRECWAY System with the DW6000 modem retails for $599.98 (Includes dish, modem and standard installation), and you pay the regular service monthly rate (currently $59.99 per month). If you choose the $99/$99 Plan, you will be charged a $99.99 up-front fee, with a 15 month contract at $99.99 per month (Includes dish, modem and standard installation). At the end of 15 months the monthly fee reverts back to the regular rate (currently $59.99).
Sounds pretty fair to me. I just might buy a whole new package...NOT!

Ditto That!
Someone just put down $685 on eBay for used DW4020 modems.

Ouch! 
To be fair, my original purchase price was $598.98 thru Pegasus. That was 2+ years ago with first-generation hardware and 12 month contract. Worth every penny.
