    Hopper or HD Receiver?

    I currently have a 722. I want HD on 2nd TV. Pros and Cons on a 2nd HD Receiver or a Hopper with one Joey? What would be the price difference between the two? I will say I would not get a HDDVR Receiver for back TV just a HD Receiver.

    Problem with 722 Receiver

    This is such a weird issue. The recording "part" of my 722 is absolutely corrupt. I did a Check switch with No issues. I have done several resets (soft and hard) with zero success. Is there anyway to tell if I possibly have a corrupt download from L 724? Lost is a world of Recording.

    Thinking of switching

    How can I convince Directv Rep to only bring a HR 34 and a HR 24? Is there a HR 25? Difference or what should I push for?

    722 will not record Locals

    There is no recording, nothing; no skip... The original Timers are still in the system BUT they were setup for the SD locals.... Is that the problem? Do I need to remove the old SD Local timers and setup the Timers on the HD Locals?
