New VIP-622 ... value if any?

[rexlan]

I have a new in the box VIP-622 I purchased (verified status with Dish yesterday) a few years back and two remotes with the 500 Gb HDD and two remotes.

Is it worth anything or should I just pull the HDD and toss it out?

The 622's still have value. Check on ebay.

It has some value but how is it new if you purchased it two years ago and the receivers haven't been more for more years than that? I'm just giving you some crap and assume you mean it's new in box because you never used it. I found it funny because the 622 is a pretty old receiver and calling it new made me laugh a bit.

The smaller internal HD than the 722 would limit its' value.

Sling doesn't work with it either. Some people may not want because of this.

Hard to imagine a knowledgeable buyer showing any interest at all.

Hahahaah ... got to read carefully ... I didn't say 2 years old. A few years back at my age can be an eternity I guess!

However, that doesn't seem to matter if it has little or no value. I will just pull the HDD and toss it.

Thanks for the replies and info.

There must be a lot of uninformed people out there. They have them for sale on eBay. If you eBay, try selling it.

622's are still installed as new connects.

Humm .... eBay fees w/the credit card business are 15% so I'd get $50-75. Hardly worth the effort.

I bought it as a backup for my VIP-622 which oddly enough has never failed and I am guessing is 5-7 years old.
They are installing a Hopper today (unless we have coax issues) so hopefully I will get decent service from it too.

The local cable company done people wrong by forcing them into hd settop boxes with extra fees and they dropped all the viacom channels and lots of fixed income people are being connected with vip receivers.

ViP722x I can see. But ViP622? Those boxes can't be very reliable.

Exactly. No retailer in their right mind would stock any and install them.

$75 is a whole lot more than a 320GB (correct me if I'm wrong) disk which (if you pull it) makes the 622 (oops said 522 earlier) completely useless to anybody.
