I had a VIP 722K that went south. Since I didn't want to be an early adopter of the Hopper 4k, I wanted to try the 922 before I made the transition. I realize that the 922 has had some less than stellar reviews in the past, but so far so good. The main difference for me, from the 722 is the guide format and the much faster search function.

Bought the 922 to replace my 722 because of updated menu and larger hard drive. I should of read the reviews. The 922 has been discontinued by Dish TV. They won't say why but many have complained about the unit freezing up,screen shrinks to a PIP size often, takes 20-30 min. to reboot after freezing up or resetting after another problem. Dish TV replaced the one I bought under warranty... and 3 more times in 4 weeks! I am going to sell it and buy the 722 instead of leasing. If it wern't for that it would be a good DVR as the menu and guide are very smooth operating and much easier to use. I had my leased 722 for almost 6 years and never had a problem. Bottom line is that the 922 was a good idea but Dish TV never bothered to resolve it's software issues. All they want to push now is the Hopper probably because the monthly user fees they charge are much higher than the 722.Read full review
This is by far the best DVR on the market today. I love it. Not only can I Record up to two shows at the same time or watch one recorded show while recording two others. I can also watch live or recorded TV on my PC, iPone or iPad Anywhere with the Slingloaded feature. I just hooked the VIP922 to an available port on my router. I can even watch live TV through the 3G network on my iPhone so if your somewhere where where there's no wireless you can still watch. Did I also mention that it has 1TB of hard disk space. Also the new UI makes it a breeze navigating through the the VIP922. This thing was well worth the investment so if you have a Dish Network account and a Broadband Connection get the VIP922. It's amazing.
this is a great box compared to the others dish has to offer. I wish the jump feature was still offered for this service. it has a lot more features compared to the lower models. because I upgraded my box, dish charges an extra fee to service it but that's fine because it works a lot better, and is quieter than the cheap 622 that sounds lit an airplane trying to take off :)
