And I'll wait for the Dish 305506633405622. The one with the 100 terabyte HD and 50 tuners. It'll probably be out the 3rd quarter of 2011, but probably before a competing satellite service adds more HD channels!

Naming it the 722 is more proof that whomever numbers the receivers for E* is on drugs.
We now have a 622 & 625, which are very different. And a 721 & 722 which are very different. The 721 is more like the 522 and 625 than the 722. However we also have 311 & 322, which have a logical connection. And the 510 and 522, which are quite similar.
The HD DVR progression path has been 921 -> 942 -> 622 -> 722. So if we were playing a math game, what would be the next number in the series? 342? 922? 666? Who knows? Certainly no one at Echostar.
I'd say it was almost like someone was throwing darts at a numbers chart, except that the present system is less logical than throwing darts.

That's probably what they do, except blindfolded so they can't purposely aim at specific numbers on the chart.

They are going to run out of numbers in their 3 digit system and will have to go to the 2 digit numbers soon, perhaps add a letter onto it if they choose like the H71.

Maybe that's why there is no model 622. It's the ViP622.

I agree 722 doesn't make sense. I don't see features here to justify naming it as a different major line. If it's just a tweak of the 622, how about 622 Mk II?
