hmm....I have a 722 and I still have L512. They must be doing it in stages and not one large update.

At this point I have not been able to find one person on any forum who has said they have the new software and have channel 501. From the conversation I had with Dish, most people should have it by the end of next week.

The upgrade failed on my unit then. I was getting 'this channel is currently being turbo charged' messages a few days ago, but I'm still on L512 software.

I have been away at work all week, so I haven't seen 'turboHD'

If I'm right, it doesn't actually change anything (i have PlatinumHD) except adding a couple of womens channels?

I have a 622 and the Absolute HD package with locals and the penney Cinimax deal. I was thinking of adding HBO because of the new HD HBO channels. However, my guide only shows one HD version of HBO, (correctly unavailable). Same for the other movie channels (except Cinimax).

Does anyone have the new HD HBO channels yet? Is it tied to the firm-ware update? I still have L512.

Yes, there are 8 HD HBO channels and one HD encore channel included. Anew channel also called Hbo zone. Seems to be more adult themed dramas and some sexy movies.

I have Top200, but I don't see Planet Green in HD.
Am I missing something?
