One difference is you can't do Hopper Transfer with the external sling.

I wanted to be able to use the Hopper Transfer since I don't think the Dish Anywhere quality is very good but was disappointed that it doesn't work with the external sling. I chatted with Dish about swapping out my Hopper and Sling for a Hopper with Sling and was told they wanted $100 to do it...

I'm looking to do something similar at my lake house when it is done. I currently have a 722 and was looking at getting a 612 like you. Dish also quote me the 5.98 and 7.00. I'll be interested to hear the answer on the DVR fee since I am already paying it too. As for the dishes at the...

I'll try eliminating the split to start with and see what happens. It worked before but maybe something changed when the digital switch happened. I haven't been in the attic yet to check teh positioning of the antenna because of the PITA it is to get up there. I checked other channels and...

Hi all, I have an OTA antenna in my attic connected to my 722. I like being able to record 3 shows at one time. Recently, they broadcasted 4 new episodes of Eli Stone. I have that set to record over my OTA but it didn't record. I looked at the history and I can't remember the exact...

So just another way to connect TV1 instead of using composite or HDMI, correct?

In that case, what is the TV1 distribution out port on the OTA module for?

Double negative so he actually did want traces and records. Looks like he got his wish.

Is the TV1 distribution out port to allow you to send the OTA signal to another input on your TV instead of splitting it before going in the 722K?

Was there a fee to go from the 722 to 722K (other than having to buy the OTA module)?

I chatted with Dish and they said it would work on the 612. Since I only need to connect 1 TV, I think that will be the best receiver to get plus they said it would be no charge. That I like.

From what I understand you can switch EHD's between receivers on the same account. Not sure which receivers EHD's are compatible with each other though.

Hi all, I have a VIP722 and have the external hard drive feature enabled. It was one of the reasons I went with Dish. The VIP722 is currently the only receiver I have and I am looking to get another receiver. I'm looking to see what my options are for the receiver. I would like to be able to...

I like that enclosure and being able to change our the drives quickly but I wish they made a cover to slip over the drive so it's not exposed. I wouldn't want to have to look at the exposed drive all the time.

2 reasons. First, it's in a cabinet and would be a PITA to unplug everything and remove it. Second, I'd like the one I have now stay so it can continue to record my shows. I actually would bring the other one back and forth and probably add a TV to my bedroom here.
