Hum....I really want one of these but I want the 922 even more....so I wait.
I own my 622....I wounder would they let me upgrade my 'ownership' to a 722K?

Already replaced the OTA module once. Don't think it's that.Since the module is separate from the DVR maybe he has a bad OTA module.
Right. Or better still, just add a copy/save/restore function to Remote Access. Backing up your timers to a two-way remote is about the most lame-brained idea I have heard of in a long long time.Backing up timers and channel settings via remote, another reason to love the 722k! With the dvr's having a USB port, I dont see what they cant make it easily transfer to thumbdrive, or your EHD.
This is the worst pvr box I have ever used and I have used some bad ones like the moxi. This box will not let me watch something live while something is being recorded. I have never ever had a box that didn't allow this. If I am recording ONE program, one F*$&ing program and want to watch something like the news (live), tuning that channel gets a screen that tells me that doing so will stop the recording. My wife is pissed that we are in a two year commitment with a box this crappy. How was I to know? This is the first box I have ever seen that doesn't allow this. ANd no, I don't want to go into the bedroom to watch my ancient 25' set with a vhf feed every time I want to watch something that is not being recorded.

Thanks for the responses. I've got the latest 6.55 firmware. I've already replaced the OTA module once but it definitely didn't make a difference.
The sense that I get is that the 722K is slightly underpowered in terms of processing horsepower and when pushed very hard, it coughs a bit.
My signal levels are all quite good. OTA levels are 80-100 (although it still occasionally complains), and sat levels are all AOK according to tech support.
I wonder if I should ask for a replacement 722K, although I hate to lose all my timers.

Sounds like you are in dual mode, which means that each TV (1 and 2) only have one tuner for each TV. In dual mode, you can watch one channel while recording another. However, it sounds like what you really needed was on dual tuner for one TV in Single mode at all times, and a separate box in the bedroom with its own tuners.
There's also a setting if you're in dual mode to record with tuner #2 whenever possible. I forget the name of it. That will leave tuner 1 free in your main room at all times.
But agreed, setting the mode to single mode is the way to go. 4 recordings at once can't be beat.
