There's no way to move it off the 625 to the 722. The 722 has no input except sat.

I think he wants to put his saved programs on an EHD attached to his 625 and then move them to a 722. Unfortunately he can't do that either because the 625 and 722 are not compatible.

To expound on that "not compatible" comment a little, the 625 never got the firmware to handle an EHD, despite it's USB port. So step one (copy off 625) is not possible. If one captures the 625 video to a computer, for example, then step two (copy onto 722) is not possible.

On second thought, if you have an ATSC modulator, then you could send the video to a 722. Those things are still prohibitively expensive, though. Possible, but not practical.
