Well with OTA HD DVRs from DISH and DirecTV I usually don't have an issue with recording OTA, but would not mind having this option too, and it would not increase my monthly charges. Guess I will wait to see what PQ is reported by those that take this option when available. Can see why we should feel it should be a no charge add-on if we already have the VIP 622 and DISH 1000 (was below cost install too, I'm sure), but also @ $59 it is still is below cost for DISH to change it out again to the 1000 plus. One of these days I will drop one of my satellite suppliers and if I had to choose today, it would be DirecTV. But right now I have the best of both.
