OK ... update !! I called back a third time and got a very helpful local CSR and she took the time to check things out. First ... they will and have to by law now activate owned equipment, but and it's a big but .... the are NO Motorola boxes for sale legit !!! That's what wasn't sitting well...

Talked to Comcast Just finished talking to Comcast a second time to verify activating a purchased HD DVR ..... and yes it can be done. So the question still remains .... Which Motorola box is best ??

I'm told I can purchase and activate the box as if it were a Tivo. Also was told I only have to pay for cable service .. not the DVR service.

From my understanding they can't keep you from owning your own and my local office said I can activate it on their system just like a Tivo.

Yes ... I paid $375.00 shipped plus the fans.

Update: After having it hooked up for the winter with the woodstove cranking .. keeping the house at around 75 -76F .. the readings are as follows: High - 116F Low - 85F Avg. - 104F Also as a side note ... I've cancelled my Dish account and willbe selling my 722 with fans attached...

What model is the best and can I purchase one ... if so ... where ?? Thanks!! Eric

Update !! High 118 F Low 75 F Avg. 103 F They reset last night or the night before. Oh ... also noticed internal fan is not running now ... not sure why I caught it running a few times !!??:confused:

DONE DEAL !!! Thanks Again !!

No ... I just noticed it when I shut everything off, so I checked and thought it was the hard drive, but noticed air moving. Got up at like 2:00am one morning and noticed it was still running, so I've kept and eye on it and sure enough the fan is running.

Nope ... I used a flash light and looked in the vents ... It's running !!

Average Temps. for Vip622/722 I just set up my ViP 722 and checked readings for base line .... High - 132F Low - 32F Avg. - 105F Just a note - the fan in the 722 runs at a slow speed all the time !! I've mounted two Vantec Stealth 80mm fans on left side over openings(1 towards back and...

I'll let you know once I get the new dish installed on the 26th ... I'm told they can't activate the OTA tuner with the current dish ... can't receive the signal !!!??? They tell me that I'll get the OTA Digital & HD channels, but there are no HD locals in my area thru Dish.

I bought my 722 and called to activate it in place of the leased 522 ... When I was told I had to pay an enabling fee I asked what for. Was told it was to enable my HD receiver ... I told them I purchased the unit and that I didn't want their HD programming. Once again I was told it b/c I had a...

Hooked up my new 722 the other night and noticed the audio sounded like they were talking in a tunnel or can .... sounded real distorted. Has anyone else had this problem ??? I have the 722 hooked up the same way I had my 522 with the optical digital cable. Could this just have been the station...
