My replacement ViP722 arrived today. A refurb, and not a K model. So far, so good.
It was just the black box. No cables, no antenna, no instructions, no remotes - and no card. So I put my old card in from the dead box. Got the msg about that card not authorized for that receiver. Called, tech guy said "Card is (and at this time my neurons started firing and I knew what he was going to say) built in." Sigh. Knew that from SatGuys, just put hands into motion before brain was fully in gear. Well, had to call to authorize anyway.
Works great so far. Automatically downloaded two 5 minute programs- Welcome to Dish and Using Your DVR. Now to recreate our Favorites lists and reenter all the timers.
BTW, it recognized the EHD immediately, and as I type this I am transferring some programs to the DVR for testing.
