Best way to get HD on TV2

[lowgolfer]

does the length of the cables have to match or will it cause a delay with a longer cable

[tigerfan33]

No. One cable is 3ft. and the other is 50ft. I paid around $30 for the splitter. There is a cheaper one that is not ac powered. It was not strong enough to carry the signal. I returned it for a powered hdmi splitter and everything works fine.

The cable length is feet is approximately the delay in nanoseconds. The bandwidth in measured in megahertz or reciprocally in microseconds. Thus they are 3 orders of magnitude different.

So long as you do not care to have to watch the same thing on TV2 as you watch on TV1, I use the Tripp Lite Model #: P167-000 HDMI over Cat 5 extender. It works great. I have a second 722k in my office that I send to my den over the extender, it is about 100' and it works great. By the way, I use the recommended solid wire Cat 6 ethernet cable.

I have 2 HD feeds from a 722. TV1 uses component and I installed (2) CAT5e cables from the 722 to TV2. I then purchased a CAT5e to HDMI converter plate for each end. I switched the TV1 remote to IR/UHF.
So now I can watch HD on either TV (Same program) and if I'm watching something on TV1 and my wife wants HGTV she changes input from HDMI input 1 to TV 73 and watches SD.
Make sense?

Will the new VIP 922 (not yet released) output HD to both TV1 and TV2?

[MikeD-C05]

No . There is supposedly a tv3 that uses wi-fi to sling the hd picture to a 15 " hd LCD tv that you have to buy from DISH. But tv 2 is still analog sd. But who knows if that hd lcd tv will even be in the release once the 922 comes to market.

Lets say I buy a receiver (222k) to replace my (322). Are instructions included or a place on the web to get them?

It is expected to have Sling capability, so you can "sling" an HD signal to another TV in your house.

I wish they would make it to where HD was able to be sent through coax on channel 3, and the UHF channels, to make installs simpler for additional rooms. It would also be quicker and easier to just change the channel if you want to access a different tuner if it is already in use in another room.

This goes back to what I said years ago. They should have just one box for every home with the number of tuners needed and a hard drive recording all of the content then split it out to the appropriate rooms.
