Dish Network will have to figure out some sort of solution for the dual tuner receivers to get a second HD output to the second television.

I agree stargazer! There are going to be more and more people that will have more than 1 HD TV in the coming years. I know I will add my second very soon!

Only if!

So...here's a thought. Are we, the 942 owners, better off swapping for a 942+, or waiting and swapping for a ViP622?
Is Dish likely to offer an upgrade path in this direction?!?

I have 3 HDTVs in my house. I have been repllacing the old ones as needed with HDTV. I have a 56" a 51" and a 32" and would like to get back with E after Jan any suggestions on what I should get so they all receive HD.

my question is why are they using lesser sounding numbers to designate something better?
i.e. 211 > 411 > 811, heck, 211 > 301
and 622 > 942 ??

Im gonna take a stab at figgurin out some type of code! (dish pro only!)
1xy-4xy = Basic receivers
5xy-9xy = Advanced Receivers
now for the XY, seems like the Y is for embeded smart card, and X is for the # of tuners (yeah, i know it dont fit the bill on the 510's but meh!)
Now, it sorta works, as your
111 = basic box + smartcard
301 = basic, no smartcard
311 = basic + smart card
211 = entry level HD (as its more commonplace) 1 tuner, and yes on embeded smart card, same w/ 411 etc
411 = hd + smartcard
501 = advanced box, no smart card
508 = advanced box, no smart card
510 = advanced box, no smart card
622 = your Advanced box, 2 tuners, with a embeded smart card (0 = no, 1+ = yes)
625/522(the 522 fits it) = your Advanced box, 2 tuners, with a embeded smart card (0 = no, 1+ = yes)
721 = 2 tuners, exception!
921 = 2 tuners, exception!
942 = tuners (exempt) embeded smart card
942+= tuners (exempt) embeded smart card
Now, it dont make much sense, or even work, but now im confused!\
211 = entry level HD (as its more commonplace) 1 tuner, and yes on embeded smart card, same w/ 411 etc
411 = hd + smartcard
(but really , those are one in the same, sorta)
622 = your Advanced box, to eventually replace the 942 id bet, 2 tuners, with a embeded smart card
942+= tuners (exempt) embeded smart card
But, you see, the 'new' mpeg 4 boxes, makes it alot easier on E to figure out what is going on , so it would only be 2 'new' mpeg 4 boxes to support, your SD/HD basic box, your SD DVR, and your HD DVR!
But Edit, it just seems like there trying to 'standardize' there model receiver #'s, though they could call them the A-F series, and Id be happy, just need HD!!

I have 3 HDTVs an 1 EDTV. It would be nice to have hd from tv2. I am getting a 942 installed this weekend on the lease. I figure it will be a while before they put too much mpeg4 only stuff on.
