625 -> 622 - Am I going to loose my 100 hrs of recorded programming?

[shappy]

I am planning to upgrade my service to HD and I was told by E* customer service that I would have to give back my 625 when I upgrade to the 622, otherwise I will have to pay additional fees to keep it.

So, am I destined to loose the 100 hrs I already have on my 625 when I upgrade to the 622? Do I have any way to get the 625 programming off or am I SOL?

Thanks.

You won't "loose" them. You will lose them though. If you have a DVD burner, you could burn them. Otherwise, they're gone.

I just went through this. I "lost" over a hundred hours too. It boiled down to .... what can I replace on DVD? ... and ... what's worth my time to transfer? ....

That boiled down to a grand total of 2 DVDs and one recording session to record some stuff off onto DVD. The rest is gone. And I don't care. Kinda makes ya wonder why you save some of this junk, don't it?

I'm betting a lot of what you have saved (unless it's sporting events) will be repeated

just my 2 cents. Have fun! It's just TV!

True true. Frankly the only things I care about are this season's Rescue Me and The Closer. I am sure both will be repeated and at least I can now record The Closer in HD!

Not worth to transfer.

Those shows will eventually be re-played again some time again in the future.

Or wait of external Hard Drive to be activeated on Wed. Transfer them to that and watch on the 622 when you get it.

external hard drive will NOT work on the 522 or 625, it's a ViP-only feature.

those receivers have USB1.1 port, not USB2.0

I thought I heard the 625 was getting that feature before the end of the year. I could be misinformed.
