| | The 211s only have 1 tuner so you would have to watch what you record unless you have OTA.
I believe the best bet is you can do it all with one 722K. 
You could run Component cables with Audio Cables for HD,but I would also run the RG6 hooked up to TV2 even if it is only HD. 
As long as you know the VIPs only have a 1 hour pause and the live buffers are only 1 hour.Where the 625 has a 2 hour pause and 2-2hour live buffers.  |

| | | Thanks for all the recommendations. I had considered the 211, but my son who would be using it, records a lot of stuff, much of it wouldn't happen with just one tuner. Hence the thought of the 612. He doesn't need PIP or OTA, so it seemed ideal.
But as I asked, what are the issues with the 612 over the 622/722/722k? Or are the problems solved on the 612?
I'm not in a big rush as he isn't complaining much about the lack of HD, and then he will be paying for anything that gets connected to his TV.
As to the bedroom, most likely will go with component cable set, but I am concerned about 20' run of it.

You can do a web search on long component cable runs, I seem to remember people using runs significantly longer than 20 feet, but best to read for yourself.
