Install done yesterday, (2) HR24s, MRV, HD Free, Premier and DVR fee -- total bill for 1st 3 months ~$55! Great deal, and of course includes the NFL ST and To Go. My son is particularly looking forward to that.
The HR24 seems as quick for most functions as my Vip722k, quite nice. Small, quiet and with the front panel lights toned down a bit, really goes well in my AV rack. HD PQ for regular HD and HD Movies is virtually the same to my eyes as it was on Dish. Sports are a horse of a different color. HD PQ is much better! SD isn't quite as good as my EA Dish install, but it isn't as bad as I thought I had remembered it. So while I won't get my AMC/BBCA in HD, I'll be able to watch the few shows I do watch on them is fairly decent SD.
Initially some issues with remote access with the iPad app and the TV apps, but a forced firmware update to 0x04D1 cured all of that.
Overall pleased with the switchover, but as usual these things are a tradeoff. Lose a little, gain a little...
