Dish 922 or 722K

[uptownvideo]

My Dish 722K has been acting up lately and it may be time to replace it. I don't want the extra expense of the Hopper so I am looking at the 922. Could someone please tell me what the advantage of the fro mthe 722K is? I do have the Sling adapter on the 722K eventhough I am not very impressed with the functunality of how is plays back programing on it.

If you don't want the expense of the Hopper you may not want the 922. The 922 is more expensive than the 722k. $6 DVR fee vs. $10 DVR fee. I suppose the Hopper would still be a little more since you'd have to pay $7 for the Joey but you'd have HD on both TVs, if the second TV is HD of course.

The rep I chatted with at Dish's website said that the monthly fee would be the same with 922 and 722. Is the 922 more buggy?

 

[Scherrman]

The rep was wrong unless they changed the DVR fee on the 922 and I never heard.

Are ther advantages to the 922? Is the on screen user interface better? Thanks.

 

[Scherrman]

It has a better GUI and has sling ability built in. The GUI is basically the same as the Hopper.

Hasn't the 922 DVR fee always been $10.00 (Same as Hopper)?

Yes. And it still is.

Yes. You would probably be better off with a 722/722k. If you need a second hdtv, add a 211/211k. That, or go with the hopper/joey setup. the 922 has become the WindowsMe of dish equipment.

Keep your 722. I am on my third 922 and I see number 4 coming soon. The 922 is a turd!

GO WITH THE HOPPER!

Keep your 722.

Agreed. But if there is a second hdtv in your future, Hopper/joey without question.

I have never had any issues with my 922. I use sling often, manage my recordings and timers online..not one issue and i have had it for going on a year now.

I've had my 922 going on nine months now,not a single problem. I also manage my recordings on line and use sling alot when i work the graveyard shift,flawless performance on all counts.
