Receiver upgrade on Friday, anything I should know?

I called this morning to get another receive added to my account (612). So I thought since it was already going to be extending my contract, that I would upgrade one of my 622 receivers to a 722K. I'm just wondering if I should expect anything different (good or bad) with this upgrade. I use OTA, so I'm also getting the OTA module which will give me another tuner for recording locals which I need. Will there be much difference between the 622 and 722K as far as menus and screens are concerned? Is the OTA tuner for the 722K as good as the tuner on my 622 I'm currently using?

no real difference in menus or anything else.

Is the OTA module as good as the one on the 622?

Is the OTA module as good as the one on the 622?

yeah most likely the same thing

The 722k does not come with the OTA module. You will have to purchase it. It is better than the 622.

So except for the extra OTA tuner (which I need), is there any other benefits I'll get by upgrading to the 722K?

The 2nd OTA tuner is available to the TV2 output. The 622/722 does not give your TV2 any access to their single OTA tuner except when TV1 has previously recorded it.

The 722/722K is a piece of cake to hook up a EHD to. Don't know what I'd do without my 1.5TB EHD.
