    TWC DVR - are all outputs active all the time?

    So I guess it is box-dependant, because my Moro 6416 has been operating flowlessly with HDMI going to my Plasma and components going to my LCD in the bedroom all outputting at the same time:)))))

    TWC DVR - are all outputs active all the time?

    I did search the giant avs forum. Unfortunately, there is no answer to my question there. Yes, it appears that component and composite, or hdmi and composite, these are open at the same time. But are component and hdmi are open? If they are, it is minus 15$-a-month on my monthly cable bill...

    TWC DVR - are all outputs active all the time?

    Hall, are you absolutely sure about it? I got another response on a different forum saying once you use HDMI/DVI, components may be disabled, depening on the company. Of course, I understand it will be the same thing on both tvs, this is fine with me because I am the only one watching tv anyway.

    TWC DVR - are all outputs active all the time?

    Hi, I asked the same question on avsforum, but, did not get the answer. I am switching from E* to TWC for various reasons. I am trying to decide how many hd cable boxes to order from TWC. I need to know if their dvr boxes support various outputs at the same time: i.e., I want to connect...

    MPEG 4 Who is gonna pay for it

    yep. i am watching verizon fios and other fiberoptic services closely. once the legislature clears the way for telephone companies to compete with satellite and cable, competition will drive prices down. California Assembly passed the bill 74-0 yesterday for example, that would help AT&T and...

    Question about 622 rebate

    The logic tells me that since they are asking for me to wait with my 811 receiver until April, they won't phase out any MPEG2 HD that I am currently receiving until April (with exception of Universal HD and ESPN2 which are MPEG4 only)? They won't take away any of my HD channels I hope?

    Where is ESPN2 HD? Am I missing something?

    I am glad HDMI and components are active at the same time. I will keep my 811 for as long as they keep MPEG2 HD channels (I have both HDPACK and VOOM). Once they start phasing out MPEG2 to go to MPEG4 I will have no choice but to upgrade....

    Where is ESPN2 HD? Am I missing something?

    final question: my 811 sends signal through DVI and Components at the same tv (so I can watch my HDTV in 2 rooms). Does 211 support this feature or you can only use either DVI or Component

    Where is ESPN2 HD? Am I missing something?

    How do you get the upgrade? Do you just call them and they send you a new one in the mail? Or you have to schedule an installation and pay them $$ for that 2? I can install my own damn receiver.

    Where is ESPN2 HD? Am I missing something?

    That's what I figured. I paid 400$ for my 811, I kinda don't want to pay $300 more to get 622.... and my 811 has a combined guide including HD locals over the air. Per Scott's review 622 won't have this guide which I find very helpful

    Your HD DVD/Blu-ray purchase plans?

    Chinese will come up with dual-format players within 18 months after Japanese bring both formats to the market. And the Chinese players would be cheaper. All patents aside.....

    Where is ESPN2 HD? Am I missing something?

    Hi, I guess, I have not been following this forum very closely, but I've seen posts where Universal HD and ESPN2 HD were supposed to be on around this time. Universal HD is here (not sure if forever or just for duration of olympics) but I cannot find ESPN2HD. Or maybe ESPN2HD is MPEG4 only so...

    New Rumor!

    I used to work for Sears about 12-15 years ago. 99% of salespeople in HomeCentral had 0% idea about what they were talking about. The only people that knew a little were people selling washers and dryers because they were doing it for decades. As far as audio/video- do your own research...

    Is there any way to wireless connect between dish and receiver?

    Yes, the problem is in the scenario with receiver on the roof forget HDTV. I use wireless transmission around the house through 5.8GHZ transmitter / receiver system (forget about buying 2.4GHZ system - too much interference from your wireless network and your neighbours cordless phones) and...

    SW21, can I buy something similar in a local electronics store?

    In my earlier post I explained what I wanted to do. Thank you everyone for your responses. I will stop guessing and just get SW21. You'd think the local retailers would have one, but people at Radioshack do not even have an idea what it is.

    SW21, can I buy something similar in a local electronics store?

    My setup is a single 7200 receiver, a single LEGACY Twin LNBF Dish 500 (for 110+119) and a small dish 300 (for 64.5). To combine these two dishes going to a single receiver. The RCA has a splitter, this is a diplexor I was referring to, a different creature, splitter splits signals...

    SW21, can I buy something similar in a local electronics store?

    Is there something unique about SW21 switch that I cannot accomplish by http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1051826213389&type=product&productCategoryId=cat08088 or other similar diplexors? Frequency response on input is similar, SW21 has 950-2300 Mhz, RCA switch has even more...
