    Possible bad IR receiver on VIP722K

    Another solution is to put 2 or 3 layers of ivory masking tape over the IR ports on the receiver. They will attenuate the IR noise enough so that the receiver can "see" the remote signals. Ugly looking fix, but it works for me.

    Hooking up a third TV to a 622???

    You can definitely get video to a different TV, but I think you'll run into problems if that second TV has a different aspect ratio from the first. IE, HDTV and receiver are set to 16:9 on output #1, you're going to get "skinny" people when viewing that video output on a SD 4:3 TV. Your new TV...
