    Can the new OTA module be used with the existing, soon to be old, 6/722 receivers?

    Does anyone know why the VIP222 will not be able to use the EHD DVR function? Will it eventually be available? I realize because of the overhead with encryption, you may be only allowed to use one tuner to record, but that will be better than nothing.

    I would love to hear that sound byte...even still it doesnt add up technically.

    If the Vip 211 or 211k will have the ability to record directly to an EHD then the 622/722 should as well. Unless there is some other harware related issue/limitaion of the 622/722 that the 211 does not have.

    Anyone know what type of precessor is in the 211 vs 622 vs 722 as that is the only other factor that I can think of that could prevent this.

    Or they could simply NOT want to add this feature to the 622/722 and that is their choice.

    Thoughts?

    another thing i liked is that the ota add on is also cheaper than the one for D and i'm sure it's better. my ota tuner in the 622 is superior to my am21 for D. this new add on is way more compact too

    Yea, but the MSRP for the 722K is $300 more then the HR21/22/23:

    ViP 722K DVR MSRP:

    -- $499 with OTA Module

    -- $470 without OTA Module

    It will be interesting to see what the price is folks really end up paying for it.
