    Have 722 (bad DVR) how do/should I update?

    1000.2 pointing. Or guessing.

    Ok, I have searched and searched but most of the posts I find are OLD and I have yet to find one concise resource. here's my situation... I just bought a 1000.2 dish antenna complete. Then I bought a 722K DVR. My old 501 died of HD failure. So I took down my old Dish antenna and put...
