I realized that maybe the Hopper system was not going to be as cost effective as I thought it would be, so I decided to go with a VIP 722K system. The only question is, on the DISH "My Shipments" profile, it says an order is placed for the 722 (NOT 722k). I looked all over Dish's site and could not find any links whatsoever to the regular 722 (No K), only the 722K, 222K, Hopper, and older legacy recievers. Should I just assume it's a 722K since I couldn't find any trace of Dish selling it?
Dish Network still sending out 722s??

622 722 and 722K are all part of the same family of receivers and can be shipped interchangeably. For new customers you would probably get a 722K but no guarantees.
Yea good luck trying to argue with them that a 722k is better than a 722.
Same as Directv saying an HR22 is the same as an HR24
I'd be pissed if they sent me a 722 NON-K to replace my K model. I've got the OTA module to receive/record 2 OTA's as well as get OTA on tuner 2.

SIMPLE: Meet the installer at the truck. Ask which box is being installed. If it's not a K, refuse installation. Tell him why. He'll either come up with a K, today or later, or you'll get someone eventually who will!
If you use an OTA, the 722 is better as it comes with an built in modulator for OTA use.
The 722k, comes without. The device must be purchased as an extra.
You can take the OTA out of the k, and put it in the non K.
if willing to buy it for the K, you get an added tuner. The 722 only has one tuner for OTA, whereas the m2 OTA module has 2
No you cant. The OTA Module for the 722K doesnt fit in the 722. There is no slot to plug the module in to.
You're correct OsU. That was actually a site error. I was typing that, then decided to research it some more, saw I was wrong and erased it. When I came back to the thread, I didn't notice it "auto saved" my previous print and included that. Disregard that portion of the message, should just be the second Part of it.
The only problem is that I ordered it because I'm am existing customer. I think I should have mentioned that earlier..
They can't specify. The Dish Computer thinks the ViP622, ViP722 and ViP722K are all interchangeable. Never mind what they "tell" you.
