Been having some significant problems the past two weeks with my 2 yr 2 month old 921. Slow response/programs on harddrive pixeled and audio dropouts/pause delay not working/etc... Doesn't this figure as 4/1 isn't here yet 
.
I had to make a decision as to how long it's going to last versus how long it is going to take to get a 622 when the flood gates open on 4/1. My gut tells me that unless something drastically changes in the availability of the 622 for the better (really doubt that) then it's possible that I won't see an install date until May/June/whatever.
Decided to call Dish and order a 622 this morning and give up the rebate. Not something I was thrilled with but one has to keep the "wife" factor in mind .
They setup a 4/11 install date but hopefully they will ship the unit to me and I can play the tech support roulette game until I find someone who will cancel the install work order and activate. If there was a way of getting thru to the young lady (english speaking- probably the Virginia center) I spoke to this morning then it would be a done deal .
As you can see from my signature, I bought a VIP211 the end of January to pickup the new channels. I will wait and see if the 622 is a "good" one for a couple weeks and then sell the 211 at a decent price. This will recoup the $200 extra it is costing me now to go with the 622..
Best of luck to the thousands (?) who are waiting until 4/1!!!
