vip722 or vip722K?
ADVERTS 1
Dish is offering me one of 2 VIP 722 receivers as and upgrade to my VIP 622, either the VIP 722 or VIP 722K. Anyone have thoughts/experiences with either or both of these? I told them if I chose the K version that I would have to have the OTA module, as I get my locals from my antenna.
Can someone tell me the differences between these 2 models?
Thanks....

If you only get locals OTA, you would definitely want the K with module...two OTA tuners vs. one. K also comes with learning remotes and can back up your timers and settings.

Of course, maybe you should consider moving directly to the Hopper. Coming soon from a kangaroo near you.

I wish I could hold out for the hopper, but the hd in my 622 went south yesterday. Need a replacement ASAP!

No ETA on OTA support for the Hopper though, which is what he mentioned, so the Hopper wouldn't work for him at this time.

I prefer the 722K to the 722, everything works a little faster, it was frustrating to have to buy the OTA adapter, but I'm happier with the 722K.

I vote 722K. Twice the OTA tuners. Save timers to remote. Why wouldn't one go for the 722K over the 722?

I am with you guys about the 722k. I have one that has been faultless(about 3 years)! My old 622 went south last weekend. I have ordered another 722k to be installed on Sunday??? I didn't know these guys worked weekends.

Are you sure you have a choice? Usually it is we will ship either a 722 or 722K which ever is available in the warehouse. DISH owns the leased receivers and all models of 722 are considered equal. Originally Posted by blake616

I was impatient. The installer didn't have an OTA module in his truck to give/sell me, so I went with the 722 thinking I didn't really need 2 OTA tuners, and that I wouldn't have to pay for it. I didn't realize at the time that the OTA tuner isn't accessible from TV2, so kicking myself a bit over that decision. Originally Posted by 3HaloODST
