722k- 2 tuner HD dvr capable of running 1 or 2 TVs
612- 2 tuner HD dvr capable of running 1 TV
Ota- over the air, as in plug an antenna into for local programming.

So by getting 722k and 3 612's, that's a HD box at each TV that can record 2 shows at one time (not counting ota tuners).

Do keep in mind this set up you lose primetime anytime, and sharing recordings between receivers. But end up with 8 satellite tuners.

Just an option to keep in mind if the hopper doesn't work out for you.

Normally you would pay pretty big upfront costs to get all these receivers, you would have to purchase one of the 612's outright at $350-$450, plus possibly $100 upgrade for 2nd and 3rd HD dvr on account. But by getting hopper & 3 Joey's at no additional upfront cost, you can downgrade and not pay the $600ish upfront costs.

Good to know, thanks!!!

Soooo.....i think we are going to drop the extra hopper and switch to a Joey. So, will have one hopper and three joeys. Does that setup work well? It will be unusual to have all on at once.......

Secondly, will they let me do that at this point?

Nahhhh....we are sticking as is!
