Hi,
I'm thinking about upgrading to a VIP-622 HD DVR or a 625 non HD DVR from my existing single tuner non HD DVR. I'm buying a new HD TV in the next few months. I tried an HD receiver initially, but it sucked on all non HD chs. and I didn't see the BIG advantage having just a few HD movie channels at a higher price. I swapped that unit out for a single tuner non HD DVR that I am using now and happy with except for not having 2 tuners. I was contemplating a HD DVR as all the new TVs are HD, BUT after reading all the negative posts about the VIP-622 unit it sounds like a piece of junk with lots of trouble. Would I be better off with the 625 unit? I don't want HD programming at this time and when I do it will only be for movie channels. Dish told me I would have 90 days to swap out any receiver I'm not happy with.
Do I need an HD-DVR other than for recording HD programs?
What are your thoughts? Thanks all.
