We got the 722, which is very nice, and has more record time. I got a peek at the ESPN-HD before coming back to work, and I'm still a bit stiff, if you know what I mean!
Cannot wait to see the hockey in HD! We also signed up for 3 months of movies channels for free, and there is some nice stuff going on, although TBH, DVDs look as good, so I'll probably just scan for stuff to record at night.
Also, the guy hooked me up with component cables, and I still have to get the HDMI cables, but the image seems pretty good so far anyway.
One problem, is that the second tv is SD, but he hooked it up using the coax cable, and I'll want to hook it up to the DVD recorder. I asked if there was a device to hook it up to a TV that didn't have the RF input, and he said he never saw one like that before. He has always been able to hook up using the coax. Not a huge deal, but I think that if I had a surround amp on that set (and I will eventually), then I'd like to be able to hook it up somehow.
Might have to bring that DVD player back into the family room to record TV shows off the DVR.
