612 vs. 622

Can the 612 record 3 things at one time i.e. 2 over satellite and 1 OTA just like the 622?

Yup

But apparently it cannot show 2 different shows at once (i.e. PIP or POP) like the 622 can. One feature that to me makes the 612 a no go.

Yeah, get a 622 if you can.

Don't forget that unless you attach a land line to the 622/722, you will be charged $5 for the second tuner.

Jerry,


Only partially true. You have a choice to connect either a Landline (VOIP also works in most cases), or you can connect the your Broadband connection. If you connect either a POTS (or VOIP), or your broadband internet you will avoid the $5 "Phoneline" Fee.

I added an HDTV to my bedroom. Had a 622 and wanted another one or a 722. Dish wouldn't add one to my account without giving up my 625 for my 2 kids room. So I swapped my 622 for two 612s...1 for the living room and 1 for my bedroom. The 625 is still in my son and daughter's room.
