Yes, that's exactly how I'm going to wire it, except the bundle has to go downstairs because the second TV only has the component inputs. Do you have any idea how much this could cost?

Any good advice on who I can contact to run cables for me? I need to run cable from upstairs to downstairs probably in the wall from my 622 to a second HDTV. Should I just find an electrician or somebody who specializes in running cable? Or just do it myself. If it's not too expensive I'd rather...

Looks like I have some work to do. I appreciate all the input. It's been hard finding answers for all this stuff. Now I'll have to see about running cables. Thanks

I was thinking along those lines also. I could use the HDMI from the 622 for the upstairs TV and use the component connections for the downstairs TV. Currently I have 1 coax cable running downstairs. It sounds like what you're saying is I'll need 5 separate coax cables? Where can I get a...

That would be nice if I could use only 1 receiver. I don't really care about separate programming. Problem may be that even though the HDMI port is free on my 622, the second TV only has the RCA type HD input connections, and it's downstairs. tsc, can you explain a little more about your...

I just disconnected one of the satellite cable inputs to the HD receiver, and my main TV still works OK. The next test is to take the cable I disconnected (second satellite input to receiver) and connect it to the other TV to see if it works. I won't be able to do that until tomorrow. I just...

I just looked at my receiver and there are 2 cables going to both satellite inputs. It looks like I can just grab 1 of them and send it directly to another HD receiver and then to my TV and I'm done. The only thing is I'll lose my DVR capability on the second TV, unless I buy another VIP622 as...

Dang, that's what I was afraid of. It sound like I'll have to get Dish involved for some re-wiring, unless I can do it myself? Any thoughts? Can I split the signal?

I just wanted to make sure the signal output from the coax connection of the 622 DVR is legit HD signal, since the additional HD channels show up at the second TV. Thanks

Hopefully this hasn't been posted before, but we recently subscribed to Dish HD and ordered the 622 HD DVR to feed 2 TV's. 1 TV for HD and 1 standard def. On the standard def TV I can see the HD channels but of course they're not displayed in HD since it's only a coax cable. Can I just buy...
