Love the black! My tv and all my components are black except for that bright silver 622 sitting on the shelf!

Well, I have always preferred leasing to owning, because I see about a 3 yr. cycle of "new stuff that I've just got to have"....however, this ain't it. Think I'll keep the 622 over this. I don't have access to broadband, so the VOD wouldn't be available for me anyway.
Would much rather E* offer 1/2 dozen HD PPV channels with good movies. I've used cable VOD at my mothers house & it is really nice, but not HD. Here at home, we just scan the PPV's every week or two, go ahead & buy what we like & DVR them, then we have our own VOD at hand - and we can watch them more than once (or wife & I can watch at a different time than the various groups of teenagers that seem to appear in my living room).

Maybe for you, but my 622 has been flawless in single mode.

This 722 has only 30 hrs of HD which makes you go "what?". The storage capacity is what we need. This is just a 622 with nothing more to offer except VOD on Demand which I never use on cable. Give us the storage capacity and we will be happy.
