I have two 622 and one of them had the pilot for Bionic Woman and Life on my dish dvr. My other had nothing on it. Before you ask they are in sd not hd. The 622 will not support hd on demand. I do not think that feature has started on the 722.

They are on the 722 also, been there a couple of days. They replaced Chuck and Journeyman in the TV Entertainment Section.
I tuned in to watch "Chuck" after hearing about it on hear last week and got "Bionic Woman" instead on my 622. I went ahead and watched it and it wasn't that bad, not as good as "Heroes", but I'll give it a couple more chances.
Earlier this week I caught "Chuck" and "Journeyman" on my 522. This is the first time I've taken advantages of the On Demand feature -- an interesting way to build excitement for new series. Nice.
Chuck and Journeyman (which will be PVRd on future airings) were both good. I was sorely disappointed in Bionic Woman. This needed to be two hours to explain more about what was going on and give more foundation for the character's change of heart. There's enough new and returning stuff on this year that I'm not sure this one is going to make the cut.

Watching Life now... I was going to pass on this show, but now... it's in the dvr timers list... Btw good PQ for SD and watching on a 73" screen...
Hi all,
Have a 722 and a 625 STB. Never received Chuck or Journeyman on 722 (not sure on the 625 as I didn't look and brother didn't know anything about them). Currently, we have access to Street Tuner Challenge, Bionic Woman, and Life on the 625, but nothing on the 722.
Are the 722's not getting any of the VOD Pilots or is this an issue with certain boxes???
Just wondering,
Geoff
I have added it to mine also. I have had the 722 for almost 2 weeks and have noticed about 8 shows in the tv entertainment section. Looks like several good potential new shows to try out. I am personally waiting for The Sarah Connor Chronicles in January.
One possibly good, one very bad and with Michelle Ryan and Katee Sackoff, does it really matter? Luckily I still have my Sony HDDVR so its getting some of the extras as a couple of nights are loaded with timers as everyone is trying out different shows.It will probably end up like last season, as some shows I didn't get to until the midseason break. Then I caught up on the shows while repeats were airing.
I downloaded the Pilot of the Bionic Women awhile back, and watched the VOD version today... I like 
I tried to watch Journeyman but everytime I did I got the message that the show was transferring to my external drive and the ext drive wasn't even connected.
Tried for 3 days to no avail, all the other shows were fine.

At least one reviewer who had seen the original screening said the same.
Said the show takes itself too seriously. The old show was more 'campy', of course did not have all the effects you see today, so had to be entertaining.
But the latest needs to lighten up a bit. I guess we will see.
My response to this would be "Maybe". We have a 722 that has never (to the best of my knowledge) received any of them, but the 625 we have has Bionic Woman and Life.
To get to them, push your DVR button and then go to TV Entertainment. It will bring up a list of them (if they are available on your receiver). A lot of people have been getting them on their 722 but we can't seem to, so it may be the same with the 625.
