HD in Bedroom ??

[GRExpert]

Hey guys. Looking for a little input if someone has a similar situation. I'm looking at getting a new TV for the bedroom. The biggest screen that will work where I can put it is a 26" I currently have a 622 that I use TV2 for the bedroom. It wouldn't be feasable to run HDMI to the bedroom for HD. I looked into getting a second HD receiver, but would want a DVR as well and can't really justify an extra $13 a month for fees. Does anyone know how the output looks of an "HD" channel on TV2 on a HD set? Thanks.

Any HD channel will be down converted to TV2. But on a 26" set, the picture should no be too bad.

As far as I know, TV2 from a 622 or 722 is SD only. I have a 211 to an HD set in my bedroom. I am going to add an external drive to it to record to, but that requires a one time DVR activation fee of like $39. I dont think I have to pay more DVR fees monthly but I could be off on that. Ck the Tech Chat recap for that announcement.

It's not possible to do HD via the TV2 output on any of the dual TV receivers. The output of a HD channel on TV2 on a HD set looks like a DVD played with composite cables to a HD set. Sets that do good upscaling or have smaller screens (like your 26") make the image tolerable. However, it ain't HD. It ain't even top of the line SD as that requires component or HDMI.

The best thing for a bedroom is either a 211 or a 222. The 622 is too hot and noisy for a bedroom, IMHO. You can add a external HD to the 211 with no monthly fee.

All these folks with TVs in the bedroom don't you folks have anything better to do in the bedroom than watch TV?
Like sleep or whatever.
When I go to bed it I could not watch TV since I am asleep in about 5 minuets.

I guess you have never been sick or laid up in bed for several days without any TV.

Where else will my girlfriend and I watch porn?

Many of us watch the morning news while getting dressed before work.

I am waiting for some company to come out with a HD transmitter + receiver that will use an existing coax run.
That way I can split the HD output from my 622 and feed my 61" downstairs and 42" upstairs. These wireless HDMI devices could have a female coax on each for a wired antenna type connection via existing rg6 or rg59.

Not sure if they make them anymore, but what you are describing is perfect application for EDTV. I have a 15 inch Sharp EDTV in my kitchen that is connected to my 622's TV2 output and it does a great job with down converted HD signals...they look almost as good as the HD on my big screen.
