Hopper or HD Receiver?

[smackman1]

I currently have a 722. I want HD on 2nd TV. Pros and Cons on a 2nd HD Receiver or a Hopper with one Joey?
What would be the price difference between the two? I will say I would not get a HDDVR Receiver for back TV just a HD Receiver.

211 would be cheaper than switching to a Hopper/Joey but you wouldn't have "The Latest And Greatest".

The first thing that stands out for me, is having a second receiver should one stop working, and you would if you get another VIP receiver you won't with the Joey. A 211 would be less, but if you use or will use an EHD it will not be compatible with your 722 or the Hopper. I would probably get a 612 or 722. The 612 has quietly become a very very stable receiver btw. The hopper system would cost you $1 more a month than getting a VIP612 or 722, plus of course the upfront fee, hopefully for you of $100.

My 612 still sucks.
