I haven't seen anything positive here regarding the 922 so I guess I'll keep my 722. What I'd really like to do is to watch HDTV in an adjacent room and the 722 will only deliver HD to TV1. Is it possible to use a sling adapter to send a signal to the 2nd TV and is there a receiving adapter...

I've done a little browsing the posts regarding Joey/Hopper but still can’t find what the projected cost is. I found the technology by asking about advantages/disadvantages of going 722->922, and the recommendation was to wait for the Joey. I would wait and adopt the new technology if the cost...

I'm considering upgrading 722 -> 922 for the sling function that will allow me to watch TV on my iPad. But I recall when the 922 first came out that there was something that I would lose. something dealing with the ability to watch different programming on different TV's or something like...

This happens to me all the time with my VIP722. I'm watching a program live on TV1 and something comes up that I have set to record on TV1. The 2-minute ticker starts. I check the "daily schedule" and see that nothing is set to record on TV2. The only way that I know to switch the oncoming...

Thanks - That's what I figured. I'll get the ole rabbit ears out & try to get my wife to watch Dancing with the Stars OTA.

Is there any way to record two programs and watch a third live at the same time? I don't have an antenna - just the VIP 722.

Amen to that. Everything from building houses (whatever's cheapest for the builder without regard to homeowners or planetowners) to appliances is based on what will produce the greatest profit in the quickest time. Off topic, but for my job I looked at power consumption versus cost and even...

Thanks for the reply. I'll continue using my EHD for that.

Is it possible to daisy-chain my 622 and 722 so that I can exchange programs saved between the two? I currently have a 722 that I'm using as my main receiver and a drone 622 that is not connected to satellite. I download programming to my EHD and transfer to the 622 for viewing in another...

I just got 616 in the Raleigh/Durham market area and I'm very familiar with the sound dropout problem on recorded/rewound programming - especially local HD. 616 appears to have solved the problem for me.

Good News - Finally! Sound dropouts apparently fixed Watching tonight's local news (WTVD) I noticed almost immediately that there were no dropouts. The problem had gotten really bad over the past few weeks. I checked the system information (Menu/6-1-3) and sure enough, I now have software...

I think that you are referring to a different problem here. Stereo/surround/sync are not the complaints here, though the sync problem does annoy me also. The thing being reported here is the actual loss of sound for a micro-second or so. Best description is a bad cell phone connection. Also, I...

FWIW - IWAL (Meaning it's worth a lot). I'm keeping up with this issue and am where you are mentally. Close to switching to DirecTV. I keep checking for L615. Now I guess it'll be L617 or later before this problem gets cleared up.... if ever. If I figure that Dish is unable to fix the...

Having both a 622 and a 722 I agree with all that's been said. I can see no difference except color and a bigger HDD. However, if you decide to get a 722 anyway, you may want to talk them into allowing you to keep the 622. The cost to me to upgrade after a recent fire and move was $95. I...

I'm finally getting around to trying to program all my stuff into the 722 remote. I have a Panasonic BD-30 BluRay disc player and have tried all of the remote codes for Panasonic/DVD. The best I can come up with is a code that will turn it on/off and do FF/REW. I need the arrow up/down to...
