722K Surprise

[stimpson]

I have a 722 in single mode for my down stairs TV. Bought a new 32 LCD Sammy to replace an older TV in the bedroom that was hooked up to a 522 in dual mode with my sons TV. So I called Dish to see if I could get another 722 to replace the 522, and was told not at this time, but I could get a 622. I said ok. The installer showed up with a 722K. Sweet. No OTA module, but one is now on the way. When he took the 522 he took the remotes as well. I am thinking about switching the 722 and the 722K locations. I use a harmony 880 for my living room set up. If I do this, can I use the 722K remotes on the 722 (duel mode/upstairs), and control the 722K(single mode/living room) with the Harmony?

I believe you can. It's usually just a matter of programming the remote, but I am not up on the 722k remotes yet.

It amazes my why Dish is even still offering the 622, because the smart money is order it with install, and get a 722 (or now K). Happened to me twice.

I switched from a 622 to a 722k and did not have to reprogram my Harmony remote, so the codes are the same.

Make sure you put it in dual mode and not duel mode. Duel mode is very bad!

It's only bad if you're slow on the trigger.
