Eh, it's the 722. Dish has the same product description up on their site for both the 722 and 722k...
Has anyone noticed the new 722k DVR menu?

I still don't have this software. Usually, my receiver is in an early group. Maybe next week...
Just got back from a visit in Chicago. Got the new update for my 722k. Pretty nice, but I agree with the other poster, should follow through with the "modern" design for all functions.

I got L667 last night on my 722K. Menu seems out of place, since it is the only UI element they changed. I'm not crazy about having to hit DVR twice to get to my recordings.
I think DVR twice is easier than that. For me, I would rather DVR take me to DVR and a second press take me to the new menu. Just personal preference though. It's no biggie. I'll get used to it.
Out of curiosity, what were you doing beforehand? On the 622, you've always had to hit DVR twice to get to your recordings. I always assumed that the 722 and 722k did the same thing too, just on different hardware, but I guess I must be wrong.
I was going to say that too... But, if you recall, many years ago, you could hit DVR and see your recordings. That's how it worked when I had a 522, for a while. Then they changed it to having to be hit twice. Oh the outrage when they did that !!!
I've always had to hit dvr twice to get to my recordings. This is nothing new for the 722k. Unless there was some way to change it I didn't know about.
I finally received the update last night. My fiance went to the menu and yelled for me because she thought something was wrong because the menu looks older than the original menu. Which I do agree, it does look dated and doesn't match the rest of the menu's. I was really looking forward to the revamp of the dish online section, but am pretty let down with this update.
Yeah... Sorry I posted that. I was so used to doing it, it threw me when I saw the new menu. I do wish they would make them all match.
Alas still no menu update for the 722... Any word on when the 722's will get this update? I'm eager to take advantage of the new features.

Updates goes out slowly, not every receiver at the same time. You'll get it when they send it to you.. You can't force it.
It will get there
It will get there when it gets there. No sooner you have no way to get it till E* sends it to you. I just got it on my over night download. Not sure how I feel about it it's just a a bit different that what we had before. Too bad they don't give all the GUI's from the 922 to the 722k since they are close to the same units.
