"This is an incredible product."
Pros: Excellent quality picture; sufficient HD channel choices!

"Tivo ain't no match for the VIP722"
Pros: Great DVR, easy to use, can watch/record 3 channels
Cons: Defaults to recording all programs instead on new or once
Summary: I have both a TIVO and the VIP722 and the 722 in my opinion blows it away. The picture quality is much better, it has an RF remote, 30 sec skip and ability to watch record 3 shows.

5.0 stars
Pros: TV2 can control at least 4TVs W/ coax splitter
Cons: Inability to delist pay channels from HD menu
Summary: I have had the 622 for close to 2 years now.Aside from my 50" industrial Panasonic HDTV monitor, there is no high tech toy that has given me greater pleasure. The optical outlet enables me to connect to my older AV receiver for DTS or 5.1 sound

Pros: Access to DVR content from two rooms/TV's
Cons: User interface, Programming Guide and Remote are all vastly inferior to Tivo.
