FS: 722k w/OTA module

[GaryPen]

Used for about a year on a commercial account. Works perfectly.

All reasonable offers considered.

Nobody's looking for a 722K?

Nobody's looking for a 722K?

I might be interested but I don't know anything about Dish Net stuff or what it would be worth so I wouldn't even know what sort of offer to make.

Is it HD? Some of the guys suggest I look at a 211k. Is this comparable? Or better?

I'm wanting HD, OTA and the ability to record to disk. I would want to be able to move the recordings from the tuner disk to my pc so I can keep them.
What all comes with it? Is a dish included?
Am I barking up the wrong tree here?

If this machine is pretty close to this, I might want to call dibs on it.

The 722k is a dual tuner DVR. You can record 2 sat and 2 OTA programs at the same time. The 211 is a 1 sat 1 OTA recording option
It has a built in hard drive but you can add an external hard drive
The 722k has a $6 DVR fee monthly whereas the 211k has a one time $40 fee

Oh, interesting.. Well I'm assuming with the monthly fee they require a credit check and contract then.

 

[Mr Tony]

nope
I've said this a couple times in the other thread when you've asked it
OWNED EQUIPMENT REQUIRES NO CREDIT CHECK
OWNED EQUIPMENT HAS NO CONTRACT

The DVR fee is just added on top of the monthly programming fee

 

[GaryPen]

Thanks Ice. You saved me the trouble of typing all of that.

 

[Dee_Ann]

I'm sorry, I'm dense on some things.. I'm just so distrustful of companies/corporations, they always have a snake in the grass with their fine print and fast talking.

So, that all said, I guess this tuner would be a good tuner to have. Shall we dance?

 

[Bob Haller]

its a dual sat tuner AND a dual OTA tuner. its nifty to watch the box recording 4 things at once.

you must have sat service for the recording functions to work

 

[Dee_Ann]

I suppose this is the Rolls Royce model..

 

[Neutron]

It is now that the 922 is discontinued.

 

[GaryPen]

Bumpity bumpity.

Still for sale. $225 shipped.

 

[Bob Haller]

I suppose this is the Rolls Royce model..

yep except now they have a hopper

 

[Mr Tony]

for some people the 722 is still better.....

 

[Dee_Ann]

All these nifty machines are intriguing but I ended up with the vip 211k because it's contract free. The one time $40 DVR fee was a no brainer for me..

 

[Mr Tony]

advantage of 722
-dual sat tuners
-dual OTA tuners

downside
-$6 DVR fee monthly

since Gary owns it there is no contract if someone buys it

 

[GaryPen]

What he said ^^^

 

[GaryPen]

Seriously. $225 shipped. Such a deal!

 

[iceturkee]
