The author of the article says: "there's not a whole lot here that can't be matched by just plugging in your own external HDD to that still-capable ViP622."

I disagree. 55 hours of HD recording vs. 30 is a BIG deal and cannot be duplicated by simply adding your own USB 2.0 hard drive to the VIP622 as that feature is for archiving only.

If you go away for 2-3 weeks and need to record more than 30 hours, then the VIP722 will come in handy. It also has support for HD VOD which the VIP622 does not as well as the VC1 codec.

The VIP722 offers a lot more vs. the VIP622 then the VIP622 did vs. the DISH 942 when it came out (MPEG4 compatibility and 30 hours vs. 25 hours being the only difference between those two receivers).
