Looks like End of September / Early November. Although with the HDMI issues it could be delayed even longer. I believe the 222 HDMI port is the same one on the 622.

Why not use the same one that's on the 211?? Mine has been working just fine since we had it installed, knock on wood.

Neutron, the HDMI problem also affected the 211s. Mine works fine too but there's been several complains about it on the 211s too.

We will be lucky to get DVR functionality let alone it getting released to the 5XX single tuner line of receivers.
