    What features do I gain by connecting my 722 to my broadband via my WiFi network?

    I am not very technical so bear with me. I do not know what value there is by connecting my 722 to the internet. Can anyone give me an idea of what benefit this will provide?

    Free upgrade from my 622 vip to a 922 offer

    I received a mailer from Dish called Gift #1 for a Free 922 DVR Upgrade. The Promo Code is FREEDVR455. I am guessing that they sent the invitation since I am out of contract. It does not sound like this would be of any benefit to me based to the replies to my post. Thanks.
