    Dish commercial stating "multi room viewing"

    ADVERTS
    Has anyone else seen the Dish commercial comparing Dish with DirecTV? It shows two TV's sitting side by side. One has DirecTV logo on it and the other has Dish logo. It says one of the major differences in the two services is that on Dish you can record a program on one TV and watch that same program on a different TV in the house. Is this something new from Dish? I didn't think this was possible with Dish receivers.

    Gotcha. Never considered that.

    So the Direct receivers don't have a TV 2 output?

    Nope, they don't. Realize, however, that they do NOT mention that the TV2 is SD analog only though. All HD will be reduced to SD for TV2.

    Actually they do under some CE testing. It will be national shortly. The difference being is that with the Direct MRV you can watch any recorded program on any TV from any DVR. It is a networked system.

    One benefit, though, is that if you are the only one using the two televisions, you can have the same HD mirrored on both, and switch rooms and still have HD.

    I know, I was providing assistance to someone that might think that the second tv had to watch SD.

    That is almost worth switching - especially if it allows all the receivers to do HD. Any word yet on when Dish will be offering this? Scott has alluded to it a few times.

    I would kill for true multiroom viewing, like Direct or the fiber providers. I want to watch my HD recording in HD on any receiver, and I want the boxes to talk to each other to resolve recording conflicts. No more identical timers on multiple boxes, and no more worrying about free tuners for recordings.
