I'm wondering how dish is getting away with this. The sticker on the outside of the 722k box says up to 500 hours (3rd point) but after install and checking it. They only allow a max of 350 SD and 55 HD hours record time? So by upgrading to this box from a standard 722 we are losing OTA unless you want to pay the $29.95 for the OTA module? Isn't this false advertising or in the least very misleading? Looks like to me they are still using the same size hard drives despite any claims of more hours. Guess I won't be upgrading anytime soon...
1. As was pointed out, the sticker says UP TO 500 hours.
2. It's 350 hours SD OR 55 hours HD OR some combination there in.
3. The OTA module allows Dish to save money by not installing OTA in every receiver when many people will not ever use it.
4. False advertising? Not hardly. Look around - Dish is lame campared to some of the ads people are exposed to.
5. With the EHD function turned on, you can store hundreds and hundreds of hours of programming.
If you are going to hold back on upgrading just because of a $30 fee here and a $40 fee there, your smoking, drinking, and gaming may be interfering with your tv watching.
