| |  EXCLUSIVE: Dish Vip 622 & Vip 222 Specs
SatelliteGuys.US has learned that at CES Dish Network will be introducing two new receivers.
The ViP622 DVR is a Dual Tuner MPEG 2/4 High Definition DVR with a 320GB Hard Drive.)
The unit will have an ethernet connection for future use.
The specs I have list 180 hours of SD and 25 Hours of HD which does not seem correct to me
It will be like the 942 with Single and Dual Modes. Most of the other specs match the 942 almost exactly.
- Single Ota Tuner (Only used by TV1)
- Single / Dual Modes
- Component Video & HDMI output for TV1 HDTV
- Shared MTS Stereo Agile modulated output, sends TV1 & TV2 signals out on 1 RF port on 2 different channels. (This is cool!)
Note - No RF Output for TV1 (ie; ch3/4)
In addition Dish will be releasing the ViP 322 which is a dual tuner NON DVR receiver.
It is MPEG 2/4 SD / HD (Tuner 2 is only 480i)
Ethernet for future use
OTA Tuner (Only used by TV 1)
- Single / Dual Modes
- Component Video & HDMI output for TV1 HDTV
- Shared Mono Agile modulated output, sends TV1 & TV2 signals out on 1 RF port on 2 different channels. (Again I love this feature!)
Ch 3/4 RF Output for TV1 is also available
Sounds like two exciting models.
Remember where you heard about them first. 
Happy Holidays from your friends at SatelliteGuys.US!

Awesome! No expected release dates? Looks like the ViP line is the way to go for the future.
I don't know why anyone would want to get the 411, if the ViP211 is the same cost with an added feature.

No release dates, I would not be surprised to see them in the summer or fall. But with Dish Network anything is possible.  |

Is this ViP line the future 'whole home network' setup where the DVRs / non DVRs will all be able to view the DVR's content?
If I finally break down and go with Dish, either of these look like a pretty nice way to go.

If I had to guess I would say that the ViP = Video over IP.
This would give dish TRUE video on demand and probably better VOD then the cable companies currently offer.
If this is true the future looks bright. |

I notice that they are going to continue the 322 name but add ViP to it b ut change the model numbers on the other ones a little.
I think it is a mistake to have the second tuner only 480i. They should have both tuners HD instead of just one. I guess they were trying to keep the price down on the receiver. They need a nonDVR dual tuner HD receiver.
I wonder if the ethernet will be for sharing the video on a home network as Shawn95GT is saying or if it will be used for broadband content or both.

Scott-
.
On the 622 especially- is the OTA ATSC only? Or does it also have NTSC?
.
Also, is there no S-video or composite output for TV2? RF only?
.
Are you saying the 622 can receive satellite HD and downconvert it to TV2?
