I just upgraded from a 722 to Hopper with sling yesterday. Was able to order Hopper without getting a Joey. Still getting used to menu system, but am amazed at its 2 TB capacity and the ability to use one tuner to record 4 locals which means there are still 2 satellite tuners available during prime time. I set up recordings for late night TV from 3 different local channels at the same time and it used only one satellite tuner to record all of them. So far looks like a great upgrade and a better choice than the 922, since the monthly DVR fee is the same ($10), but the capability is much greater.
