I need to buy another receiver for the HT room and am wondering which one to buy. There are only 10 HD channels in my location and if I go HD, I’d have to buy a second dish which is not an option for me. I can’t stand the look of one on my house, and two would be hideous. Plus, I’d have to subscribe to the max channel package to get those ten HD channels.

Considering all that, I’m looking at buying the 625 which is a SD receiver, or, buying the 622 which is a HD receiver. I would ‘think’ that the 622 should have a better picture because it has both component and HDMI outputs while the 625 just has coax and S-cable. That's the only real reason why I'm even considering the 622. Dishnet will not upgraid my system, so I have to buy the receiver (if your wondering).

Has anyone here compared these two receivers with SD??
