I wouldn't call it the Worst receiver ever. I reserved that one for the 921 that came a few years back at $1000.00 a unit and the 811 hd receiver that I quickly traded in for the 921 . I had to baby sit both of those boxes constantly to get them to work right. Rebooted the 921 so much that I hooked it to a surge protector with a switch behind the box so I could flip it on /off easily.
But this 922 is lacking to me in basic functions that the 722k has: external hard drive archiving , manual timers, dishpass timers. I can not get the dnla thing to work on apps like play on , that I paid for. The remote access works but not in hd . Apparently you have to have a brand new tower on your computer with lots of memory and an hd graphics card to do that. Not to mention the highest upload and download speeds of 3mpbs on both . Don't have that much with Twc road runner on it's fastest speed available.
I wanted the hd media extender ,but gave up on it and got a 211k instead when they announced it was delayed till the end of the year. As far as basic dvr functions, this 922 does work for that ,sometimes. The channel logos are nice , the hd graphics are nice, but in all this box has not been all it is advertised to be and has been a bit of a disappointment to me.
