722 as a solo DVR? Monthly fee...

[tkrandall]

If I were to have a 722 because it is arguably a better DVR, but I am not interested in TV2 output, can TV2 be disabled by Dish and I only have to pay the monthly fee for a solo DVR? All I would want is the 2 tuners - no interest in the lower quality duo output on any receiver. Or is a 612 the only option?

I like having a stand alone DVR or receiver at each TV.

You can use itt hat way----and I recommend it---but the fees are the same.

Thanks. $17/mo is a lot

Yeah, it is... How badly do you want to maintain your stand of: "I like having a stand alone DVR or receiver at each TV." You could always go with a VIP211 and it wouldn't cost you $17.....

If it's your first/only receiver, it's free of monthly charge.

You have two options: a 211 w/EHD @$7/mo (after $40 upgrade fee), or a 612 @$10/mo.

I traded my 622s with new 612s. My bill is still over $300 a month but I save $20 lol

Did you swap them with Dish, or buy them outright? If you swapped them what was the cost and/or commitment with Dish?
