I will NEVER upgrade to a Hopper, period! It is a matter of costs. I can honestly say for those that feel that it must be something wrong with my set up, I would tell you that prior to my purchasing a 922, I had a 722K and 211 for many years without any problems. Each of the replaced units have each had something different go wrong with them. One was recording things on its own. Just walk into the room and see that it is recording when it was not set to record anything. It would not be so bad if it actually would have been recording something interesting, but generally it was never was. One unit recorded programs and when I went to watch the program I could not find them, the hard drive showed that there was something on it, 5% full for instance, but the programs would not display, so that one went back. Then one unit was replaced because tech support contacted me and told me the unit (after 6 months) was about to fail. Another unit froze on the GUIDE SCREEN and would not return to normal even after many attempts to reboot it. Then one unit continually dropped audio and pixelated, a new LNBF was installed and that was found NOT to be the problem and the unit replaced. So you see, I have come to accept the 922's fault. I have NEVER been asked to spend a dime on any replacement and I have had a new receiver on my door step within a couple days. Sure I had to drop off the outgoing unit at the UPS Store, but that is only a couple of blocks away from me. Besides, I see almost as many folks complaining about the HOPPER having its own problems and I am sure while it is the most cutting edge tech but I just DO NOT need cutting edge.
