 I just noticed that Verizon now has the 7200 STB DVR. I currently have the 6200 DVR. What is the differece between the two? Is it worth "upgrading" from the 6200 to the 7200?

Thanks

Please don't take this info wrong but the biggest difference is the 7216 will be mpeg4 compatible while the 6416 is only mpeg2 compatible...what does this mean you ask. Well it means 1080p will most likely follow suit first or 2nd quarter of next year. That's just water cooler talk in regards to the first or second quarter but will be here soon enough.

The 7200 has a built in 2 way cable card as per the new FCC regulations.
