Ah. Problem is, I'm getting the audio sync problem just going from the 722 to my TV via HDMI. So far, going directly from the 722 to the TV or to a receiver, I get the sound before the action. Maybe 3000-4000 ms.

Great! Just what I wanted to know. Yes, I realize that I'll need a receiver that can "do" the 5.1. No problem there. And I also run an optical out of my 722 to my receiver currently (and have an optical out of my TV). Now I just need to figure out how to adjust audio sync from the sat...

I don't know that I've seen it in print, but I'll tell you what - when I called them for "pre sales" info, I was bombarded with the "fact" they had the only mpeg4 DVR on the planet. "Are you ready to buy?" "Well, are you?" "How about now?"

Hey, *I* giggled. :) Come on guys. It is Turbo! Turbo has to be better. Other wise it would just be... normall aspirated or something. That's never as good as turbo.

Navychop - Thanks for all the great replies. I haven't been ignoring you... just been out of town (lots of recorded Olympics to catch up on now... to the tune of many tens of hours!) OK, so when you say this: Your DVR records the signal exactly as sent. There is no MPEG-4 (or other) encoder...

Ah, E*. Sounds killer! "Next month" eh? Many of the articles from earlier in the year were saying that it would be released in July. Oops. How are they gonna do it with no fee? I guess it'll be priced appropriately. Sure would be nice if they'd just go ahead and put a TB drive in there to being...

Ah, if this is true, then I'm confused. Anything that I watch through my 722 receiver/DVR is first recorded, and then what I'm viewing is from that recording (this is how it can be paused, rewound, etc). So doesn't it stand to reason that everything I view through the 722 is compressed with...

Well, I can imagine why! If you're gonna pay for sat, you'll likely use the company's receiver/DVR. The whole reason I'd want a stand-alone DVR is because all I need is my OTA stuff. I really have no need for sat. Yeah, some extra channels, but I really don't need them. I get 20 HD OTA stations...

Oh, I agree that it is "easy." But it is also amazingly inconvenient when I want to record everything that has "gymnastics" in the title, for example. Since my VCR days, I'm done with the manual recording process! I do love how much better the video quality is over the air. However... once that...

Ah yes. An excellent point. One thing to note. The VERY first time I called for "technical advice," I got an amazingly knowledgeable, American tech on the phone. Knew how to do everything, and knew exactly where everything in the menu structure was found and how to operate it - WITHOUT having...

This doesn't seem to be an option for me. $25 for TurboHD bronze $5 for local channels $6 for DVR -$1 for the "package" Total of $34.99 It is all finally working now.

Ah. Found it! Fingers crossed that it works!

Uh-oh. One more bit of help needed! Where do I find Check Switch? I've done it before, but can't find it now. I've turned my locals back on, and they seem to now be charging me $5.99?

Aaaahh! If only the Dish folks knew this! I swear that I haven't yet spoken to anybody there who actually uses these devices. OK, ok. After signing up for locals yesterday, turning them off last night... I guess I'll go ahead and turn them back on now. :sigh: I VERY much appreciate all...

Thanks! You guys are awesome. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I should have asked here before wasting two hours on the phone with the Dish folks!
