Great review Scott! I currently lease a 942, and plan to also lease a 622 (c'mon April 1

) Anyway, I found your walk-through to be informative and helpful. Especially so, because I plan on getting up and running as soon as that box hits my door.

I'm running my 942 in Single Mode and plan on doing the same with the 622. 110, 119 & 61.5 sats w/DPP Twin, to diplexer, to SAT1 & SAT2. I think I'm ready to plug the 622 in and "get 'er done." Can someone confirm this for me?

This site provides a wealth of information and resources. I lurk and occasionally post at a variety of sites, but consistently use this one as my litmus test. Keep up the great work satelliteguys!

Thats my advice to WAIT and get this great device for only $99.

I have not said anything about the programming yet, thats because from where I sit the new HD programming that I have access to now STINKS. Voom has a channel where you watch someone playing video games... (Yippie when is it MY turn!), I dont watch sports and I dont get excited knowing I can watch Knight Rider in HD on Universal.

The 942 is not a bad machine, it has its flaws but is not a bad machine at all, if you have one its going to make cents (hahah) to wait until the 622 is $99.

I'm running my 942 in Single Mode and plan on doing the same with the 622. 110, 119 & 61.5 sats w/DPP Twin, to diplexer, to SAT1 & SAT2. I think I'm ready to plug the 622 in and "get 'er done." Can someone confirm this for me?

This will work fine as long as these are the only two receivers you have (as you will be using both ports on your DishPro Plus Twin LNB)

Scott,

Thanks again for the updates, keep them coming. I wanted to see if you have tested three HD recordings at the same time (two Sat one OTA) while watching a pre-recorded HD event and how that works out.

Thanks

I can try it out in a bit. Dinner time.

Scott,

Can you verify what the depth of the 622 is? I am re-arranging my equipment rack, and I want to make sure I have enough depth on the current shelf I have set aside for the 622. Spec sheet I saw said 13" but it was pre-release, so I dont know if that changed.

Scott, loved your review. I'm just getting into HD. One question. Can you time record OTA programming?

Thanks

Yes you can.

It has 2 SAT tuners, and 1 OTA tuner, so you can record 3 things at once.

Same size as the 942.

(I dont have a ruler here with me at the moment)

Does the OTA channels show up in the guide at all? I wanted to drop my locals and just use OTA. I understand that you have to get their locals to get any information for the ota channel, but I thought that it showed up in the guide as "no digital information" or something.

Great review Scott
