Move because of Setanta USA ?

[mageeks]

I am thinking of coming over to DirecTV because of the lack of Setanta on Dish Network.
My question goes out to anyone who has already done what I am thinking about. Will I miss my ViP 622 HD DVR or does the HR-20 do just fine ?
Any advice would be great. Thanks !

several people have said the vip 622 is superior to directv's hr20. but the hr20 continues to be improved and i suspect, in the long run, will be as good. obviously, you don't have the luxuary of using one dvr to run 2 televisions. but if having sentanta is important to you, you make a sacrifice. i guess it depends what you want more!

Setanta Sports USA was just uplinked for testing (not available yet) to Dish Network as Channel 406 on 110 slot.
No official announcement, but I think you can plan on it being available some time in July.
