Vip222

Not much being said about the VIP222 dual tuner STB. Same configuration as the 622 except not a DVR. Is the 222 going to be available as an upgrade or purchase sometime soon? This model has all the bells and whistles I need for my particular setup.

What I am wondering, if they will let us take a 211 while we wait...only reason I see making us wait is to force us into a 622. They tried to do that with the 625 when I signed up last July. I tried it and didn't like it, discovered I could record shows (and internally edit & burn a DVD with my Media XP in my Sony Vaio.. With the DVR you had to record out its analog jacks-no digital out, etc. I had to fight for it, but I got the 625 removed and replaced with a 322 and my install money refunded (after the usual 3-day grace which isn't long enough)
