I had a problem moving my HD from my 622 to 722k. Dish Tech Support said they were not compatible. NOT TRUE! If you have trouble (e.g. a pop-up message asking you to reformat, say NO!), ask them to resend your authorization to your HD. If they ask for the error number, give them 787, which...

A non-technical person in my house commented last night on how much sharper and better the colors were on the Jay Leno show (comes in high definition over the air). So, I think there is definitely better picture "processing" on the 722k than the 622. I've noticed it myself too.

what is the significance of the different colored rings?

My informal observation is that the 722k does have better PQ than the 622. The menus are a little sharper looking too. (Strange!)

LOL

By the way, I learned the 3 digit error code for a receiver that has not yet been "authorized for EHD" is 787. :) Okay, moving on, I got my re-hit last night and am GREATLY pleased to report the hard drives can now move back and forth between the 722k and 622 with no loss of data!! Many...

Sorry, I am not challenging bobr66, just relaying my experiences. I called last night and asked the technician to resend the EHD authorization. The tech wouldn't do it just on my say so. He insisted it only needed to be done if there was an error on the screen and I would have to read to him...

bobr66 -- my household key is already the same on both receivers (622 and 722k). I'll ask tonight for a rehit. But two different tech support techs have told me the 722k cannot use hard drives that were used on the 622 without reformatting them. ?!??!?!

I guess the 622 and 722 use the same software. Unfortunately the 722k has different software. You can go from the 722k to the 622 without losing your recordings, but you can no longer use that hard drive with the 722k. But you cannot go from the 622 to the 722k unfortunately, which is a much...

More people with their heads stuck in sand ... Sad!

Guess I'm missing something here, but what's the benefit of having two copies, one on your HD and one on the 622 itself?

I thought those cities were on spot beams to their geographic areas?

So, if you live in Los Angeles, can you get HD locals for any other areas? Especially in an earlier time zone?

I have had this problem too. Especially weird would be seeing closed captions bleedthrough on TV1 while the screen saver logo was moving around the screen. It would go away when turning on TV1, but then they're be no more captioning at all. A reboot fixes it for a while before it starts...

ditto ... Los Angeles locals are on 129 as well
