What about ditching the HDMI out and going with component and optical audio? Is there still an issue then? Getting ready to upgrade from 922. This may be a deal killer for me as my receiver does not pull audio from HDMI, it only passes picture.

Here's a chat I just had with online CSR. I contacted them because it won't let me sign up to request DVD's by mail. As the CSR says...this is all very "Unfortunate" Brandon (ID: V8G): Unfortunately, I see this is not yet available on your current receiver. This is currently available on our...

Just got it for free w/ new 24 mo commitment. Still requires a tech install, which could've happened as early as tomorrow, but I'm working, so it will be Monday.

I'm looking to upgrade from a 622 soon. Been reading a ton of posts on here, but have a couple of questions. Are all of the TV1 outputs on the 922 live at the same time? (can I use HDMI and Component at the same time?) Does TV2 now function like the rest of the dual receivers? What about on...

Thanks for the help guys. I'm going to take this HD that wont work with my receiver and use a friends Hauppauge HD PVR to archive my recordings. That way I wont get any horror stories of the receiver suddenly telling me the HD needs to be formatted. If anyone is interested I'll let you know how...

I just bought a WD My Passport Essential. I have formatted it 3 times since connecting it to my receiver, but my 622 keeps telling me the drive needs to be formatted. Is this because the drive is only powered via USB? If I connect it to a hub will it solve the issue? Guess I might be out $70...

On my 622 my TV is hooked up with HDMI but I can hook up a 2nd display via Component or A/V connections on the TV1 output and mirror simultaneously. Is this the case on the 922? This is the make or break for me on the 922.

Sorry what I meant was if I have to drop HD Absolute and add an Americas Top plus HD pacakge then I might as well switch. I know CI is the same price no matter what provider. Direct may have those additional RSN's in HD, but are they going to turn them on regularly for CI? Comparing last...

Can I get CI with an HD only package? If so, which one? I'm grandfathered in right now on the old HD Absolute. If it costs me an arm and a leg to add CI then I may switch to Direct. However, I would certainly miss my Avs pre and post game shows.

Turn on your receivers....they're gone!!! Bye Ultra and Gameplay :mad:

Good luck trying to get a game on 9468 to record properly though. Of course I guess the Masters is over now, so it shouldn't be an issue. But yes it was nice to have the live HD hockey instead of pre-recorded HD interviews and highlights.

Wow...still no Vegas... You know there's only like 2 million people that live here...

What about those of use that have packages like NHL CI? I wonder how that will work. Will I still get the SD games when HD is not available? Also, would I get the games on my local RSN if I don't have access to it with the HD only package? (They currently get blacked out on the CI channels.)

Interesting that I hadn't even read this thread before... But I have noticed a significant difference in NHL CI SD quality this year. I had it last year and SD was fine most of the time, but this year it is awful! So I emailed as well (like I said I hadn't even seen this thread, so it is a...

it's the beginning of the season and these things don't get updated that far in advance. i remember last year that you could only count on the guide being accurate the day before, or the day of. and the online schedule was usually never updated very far in advance.
