I currently have a DVR 721 and it is the 3rd one I have had due to hardware issues and Dish swapping it (while under warranty). Now it is no longer under warranty and it is beginning to act up again and I am considering just going with a new receiver. What is being offered now with similar features as the 721? We like the dual tuner to be able to record one show and watch another. I do have a 2nd receiver (3900) on another TV so in looking at the DVR 522(or now the 625?) I could do away with that 2nd receiver? My concern there, is if I am recording on one tuner and watching a show on the other tuner, then someone wanting to watch another show on the other TV, that can't happen, correct?? So, my thoughts are to keep the stand alone receiver and try to find something similar to the 721. HDTV is not in the issue currently as I can't afford a HDTV. So, what do you suggest? Can the DVR 625 be purchased off ebay and activated? I remember the 522 Dish would not activate unless you were a new customer. Is that still an issue?
