I think so. If I simply deactivate the old 322 and activate new 222 (without HD programming), I should not be charged any additional fees and I can keep all the programming the same as is, right?

UHF Channels 52 - 69 were no longer assigned to TV as of 06/12/09. So TV2 channel 60 will be fine.

Yes.
If you Keep both, you'll pay $14

That's exactly what I'm looking for. Just a simple upgrade so I have HDMI for my Pioneer KRP-600M and a HD tuner combined into one box. Awesome.

With the Vip receivers, any premuim movies channels you subscribe to,you'll get the HD versions even without HD service.
Thats a Plus

If you plan on getting HD on the 222(k) you may need to change your dish too.

Well he/she lives in California, so the Dish swap would be piece of cake.
Dish 500 to a 1000.2.

The craigslist 222 did not have remotes, so now I'm back to square one. Looks like 222 is going for about $110 and 222k for $150 with the OTA module.

So with these receivers dish have to upgrade the round dish as well? Man, better not be another charge.

You could just buy replacement remotes.
