    942--HDMI/DVI Adapter vs HDMI/HDMI Cable?

    My TV has an HDMI in and I wanted both A and V to use the same wire, so I bought a HDMI to HDMI cable and use that. If you use the HDMI to DVI, then you also have to run audio. I do have an optical audio going to my receiver, but I only turn that on for movies where I want good 5.1 sound.

    Thanks. I think I get it. I'm thinking I prefer DPP Twin. If I understand correctly, I can always have a DPP 44 added if I ever add a more than two recievers, or if for some reason I have to add a 4th orbital location.

    Dish still installing legacy LNBs?

    I inherited my Legacy Dish 500 Twin setup from the previous homeowner. Right now I have a 811 and 4700. I bought a 942 which arrived today. Tomorrow a tech is coming out to do two things: Add a 61.5 Dish and Install the 942. Now, I've hooked everything up except the RG6 cable and...
