I current have a very basic setup that I installed myself.
Eastern Arc - VIP211K with a 1TB EHD (Welcome Pack and HeartLand Pack) - not on a contract ($23.67)
I do a lot of manual scheduling, but because I only have one tuner - I get many conflicts.
i can get either a 722 locally for about $150 or a Hopper for about $200. So here are the dilemmas and questions.
1. Better technology - but cost $10 dollars a month more for the Hopper, but I assume about the same for the 722.
2. Can I have the Hopper and the owned 211K on the same account (other threads here say yes)
3. Main problem is timer conflicts but I have to weigh cost against missing recordings.
4. Any other consideration I should think about?
I can think of pro and cons on each side - please give me your thought and experience.
