Moving to HD

[doublek97]

Hello, all!

I am finally taking the plunge to HD and would like the advice of the forum folks. Right now, I have just a 2-room system and use a 625.

With my move to an HD television I will need a new Dish (have a Dish 500) and a new receiver. Which receiver do you recommend? Also, if decide I want to add a third and/or fourth room to my total system, should I just keep the 625 for the third/fourth rooms? What is the most cost effective means?

Sorry for all the questions, but would like to upgrade in the best manner that isn't too costly.

Thanks!

ViP722k with the OTA module. What's your 2nd tv, SD only? Do you own the 625? There have been some offers/ads out there for existing customers to upgrade to HD - and even a threads here about it:

You'll probably have to sign up for a 2 year committment though to get the best pricing. The promo might be over as of last night though, but you can always try or wait for the next one. Doesn't sound like you are in a rush.
