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:)))))

All outputs are active on my box, it is a Motorola 6416. I am lucky!

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...

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.

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...

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...

wow and I am still impressed on 811 picture (watching ABC HD Oscars) I cannot even imagine how 211 looks like

great Scott, some breathing room for me there! :)

sdmrt29: the package did not come with dvi-to-hdmi cable or adapter? just don't make a mistake of going to Frys or something and making them sell you a $129 hdmi-to-dvi cable! These adapters are like $3 on fleebay.

No way, are you guys saying I will stop receiving my HD channels on my 811 NEXT MONTH ALREADY?

sdmrt - your setup is very similar to mine. were you able to do your own install? do you already have hdmi-to-dvi adapter? they sell them for like $3 on fleebay..

are they require professional install? i can install my own receiver it is a no-brainer

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?

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....

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
