Last I have seen it isn't. I will be doing a 722/222 tomorrow or Sunday and will report back then.
Funny thing. I didn't get to install the 222. This was a DISH referral job for an RV customer who is snowbirding down here. He got a 722/222 because his home that he will be doing a DISHmover to in Spring has HDTVs. So, I installed a 1000.2 on a tripod and hooked a 722 to a single SDTV. The 222 will be physically installed when he does his DISHmover when he goes back home.

Doesn't the 211 have the dishcom feature too? I was going to ask the same question because I want to add another 211 receiver in my house but there is only one phone line hooked into my existing 211 receiver; there is no phone line in the room that I want to add the new receiver. Is this a problem, or will the receivers somehow communicate with each other?
It would be irrelevant for the 211 since hooking a phone line to it won't save you any money. Physical secondary boxes have an additional outlet fee, whereas dual-tuner receivers can have the fee associated with their second output waived for connecting to phone line.
However, if you had a 722 that wasn't connected to a phone but had a 211 connected to phone, then you could save the charge for the 722's second TV output. In theory, anyway, as I believe the 211 doesn't have DishComm active yet either.

I have both the 211 and 222. Both of them do not have the dishcom feature enabled. The reps say only the dvr's have the feature enabled at this time. I wish they would work on getting the 211 and 222 to talk to the dvr's, so I could watch the dvr programming from each of these boxes in HD.
