FIRST LOOK: 622 Review!

**perUano** · 02-12-2006 07:33 PM

I have 2 HDTV's (living room and bedroom) Can this receiver output through component and HDMI at the same time? and if so, is each feed still a different tuner? (meaning I can watch a program in the living room and a diffeent one at the same time in the bedroom)

Thanks!

Do you have caller ID? If so is it working? If not I get mine tomorrow. Thanks.

"Can this receiver output through component and HDMI at the same time"

I asked this around page 6, Scott said he could not test it as he does not have HDMI, but he did say he asked at CES and they said all were active,

I guess no one has been able to confirm that all active means all at the same time or active as in they are working (like the EtherNet Port is NOT active right now).

We need someone to get one of these with an HDMI /DVI port on there TV so they can report back to us, please .

Yes and NO. You wont see the OTA channels But if you subscribe to the locals from Dish you will see those listed in the guide where your local channels should be (ie their actual channel number)

Below is a photo I just took on TV 2 showing this in the guide.

Scott does it have the extended guide for the widescreen tvs?? (the primetime guide

)

Yes it does.

Scott...I am bumping this question again because I don't think you caught it earlier.

Whoops sorry, I am trying to catch them all.

No it does not doing native switching, you set it to 480, 720 or 1080, and everything is upconverted or downcoverted to the resolution you selected.

It does not automatically switch from 1080i to 720p like other (non Echostar) recievers do.
