    3 HD Receivers??

    I just saw on the Dish Website that Dish is letting new customers have 3 HD receivers (1 HD DVR, and 2 HD receivers). Does this mean that they will hook up 6 TVs now instead of 4? Do you think a current customer could get a third HD receiver?

    Cable TV into my 622

    I have a stupid question. Since my local cable company carries locals in HD, and dish does not, I am considering signing up for their basic cable package. If I do, can I run that cable into the 622, or do I have to run it directly to my HDTV? Thanks.
