[NotMe546]

So where the HDMI and component cables?
This is an HD receiver right?

We should be happy E* is finally given a second set off batteries.
Remember charlie takes baby steps!!!!

So whats so special about this 722k? bigger hard drive the the other 722? different color remotes?

What all the fuss is about? I could see the 922 as bringing some interesting news , But not the 722k, since the E* Tech that was at my house on Saturday said 722k will be a standard replacement for the current 722.

So No OTA without a having a seperate unit, Ok What else? The remotes are new. OK Everything thats in that box came with my plain 722. So the Big News is the OTA Module then ,I'm Guessing.

Hmm.. I just ordered one from Dishstore because I was working off the assumption they wouldn't be available via DIU.

Maybe I can do DIU when the 922 gets released and hock the 722k on eBay?

Just got out of a chat with E* and she said she had no option to select 722K. I'm not sure how the other poster got the DIU price for a 722K. Not saying he/she didn't, but the gal I chatted with was REALLY helpful and she couldn't set it up.

Uhh.. 4 tuners. 2 OTA + 2 SAT. That's pretty huge.

I ordered the 722k to resolve the vast majority of my network programming / NHL Center Ice conflicts.

I just talked to Claude from DishStore

He has a few units left and don't know when he can get more in.

Be even better if it was 3 SAT. That would be huge. OTA not impressed. Thats optional anyway with the 722k

Thanks Scott for the report.

We are missed info about HDD, could you connect to TV and after pressing DVR button tell us how much free space for HD it have ?

[BTW, the disk inside is 'married' to a DVR R0092589496 and altered barcode had one number missed - 5 ]

 

[Smith P.]

Does the mainboard have the typical Colorado license plate etching ?

The icon gone after new PCB for 722 designed. Only 622 caries it now.

Agreed. Now what would really be huge is having 2 (or more) HD outputs for all those HD tuners.

 

[Smith P.]

Scott, any chance to make [readable] pictures of other chips, areas ?

 

[Hemi 6.1]

Exactly, Like Make TV2 HD then they would be on something.:up Not this OTA module
Thats old.

 

[KE4EST]

Thanks for the report and pics Scott.

Be curious to see if lakebum's ota issues are a fluke or a serious issue.

 

[webbydude]

Wow.. E* didn't cheap out this time, they gave you two sets of batteries.

Nothing out of the ordinary. One set per remote.
