    I currently have 2 - 722K DVRs each with an OTA tuner on my 2 HD TVs. I'm thinking about jumping (no pun intended) over to 1 Hopper and 1 Joey from my 2 DVR setup. I have a few questions.

    1) On the 722K unit when you hit the 30 sec forward or 10 sec back button it jumps there immediately (no fast forward 10x speed garbage). Does the Hopper/Joey still do this?

    2) Does the installation of the Joey require a coax cable to be run from the Hopper to the Joey or does it go back to the satellite dish and then back to the Joey? There is no way I'm going to get a coax line from my family room TV to the bedroom TV. I have RG6/U-Quad cable to both rooms from the dish already.

    3) If you have purchased the OTA module and installed in the Hopper can you watch OTA stations on the Joey?

    4) Is the Primetime Anywhere (records 4 major networks everynight on one tuner) an extra cost or is it included standard price? How much more $$$?

    5) For those that went from a 722K DVR to a Hopper what did you like/dislike?

    Thanks for your opinion. I have called Dish and asked but I just get "you will like it" and the "installers will handle that". I would like some real-world feedback. Thanks.
