Wireless Monitor
The card next to this device clearly states
Is this thing HD or not? Is the 922 TV3 output HD or not? Why isn't this thing a 42" 1080p monitor?

Dish Network TV2 IR converter
As I understand this, it has an IR input and a UHF/Pro output. So, what are the three connectors for? (Two look to be F connectors.) Is this thing meant to go between your UHF/Pro antenna and the receiver? If so, does it reduce the sensitivity of the receiver to regular UHF/Pro remotes?

TV3 is HD and the monitor is HD (720p) its made to put in places such as The Kitchen, Garage etc...The card next to this device clearly states
The 922 does not work with regular Dish Network remotes. It uses new 2.4 GHZ UHF remotes only.As I understand this, it has an IR input and a UHF/Pro output. So, what are the three connectors for? (Two look to be F connectors.) Is this thing meant to go between your UHF/Pro antenna and the receiver?

I've attached a picture of how you connect the TV2 IR Converter. The top diagram shows the scenario Dish has described in the past. the bottom picture is how I intend to use it.
If you wanted to continue to use a UHF pro remote AND and IR remote to control TV2 in dual mode, then you would need to combine the UHF antenna with the output of the TV2 IR Converter. I don't know if/how you can make those play well together.

OT: Dish TV2 IR Converter
What I want this converter for is to accept the IR blaster output of my Hava Platinum HD, so I can move it onto the TV2 output rather than camping on my only HD output. (Monsoon does not have a true HD-output place shifting device at the present time, so the SD TV2 output is perfect for this purpose.) I am suspicious that the 3rd hookup diagram (the one that doesn't exist yet) might be workable. This involves leaving the receiver's antenna how it is, but adding a second remote antenna to the output of the converter.
BTW - It appears that the splitter in the upper diagram is not connected correctly. Somebody mindlessly following that diagram are going to be looking at a terrible TV2 picture, if they can see the picture at all.
Ouch. I use UHF Pro remotes for both TV1 and TV2. My 722 is sitting on a shelf in an equipment room in my basement. Neither of those diagrams will work for me since both involve unplugging the remote antenna, and plugging the converter into that input instead.

Yes, I think that would work.
This is in fact how Dish showed it connected. I guess there is enough frequency separation between TV2 and the UHF to make it work. If I were using this scenario, I would want TV2 assigned to the highest channel just to be on the safe side.
The splitter needs to be turned around. I think good splitters are expected to prevent the signal from leg going out the other (when used as a combiner). See EKB: TV2 IR Converter.wmcneil said:
Wow, I think it is looking really good. So click and such a great UI. The E* DVR current UI is really ugly and behind the times, but this thing is gorgeous.
The only thing going on is wasted space up top. There is just that huge amount of black on top that needs to be utilized.

Awesome - those pics made me decide to hold off on the 722K and wait for August. Yeah, August... that's the ticket...
Why didn't they just do the pyramid IR emitter idea but in reverse? Put the IR sensor/UHF Pro transmitter next to TV2 and use the regular antennae on the Rx. That would eliminate all those extra connections and splitters so the image quality doesn't suffer.
You can put stuff up in that area such are weather forecasts, stock quotes etc.
Oh very nice. So the user can chose what goes up there? Very good move if so
That is the plan.. weather, stock quotes, sports scores...
I can't wait to get my hands on the SDK.
Seems the 822 oops 922's software pushing back; third beta gone from sats after short exposure.
Just checked Scott pictures: that pictured 922 got AHK1 software not from satellite, as we saw last one spooled was AHC1 ( after AHA1 and AHB1 ). Perhaps too buggy for many others.
