got my new HD DVR the other day learning my way around it a little but I have a quick question
I have the main composite output (no HDMI) to my main (HD)TV. The second output (RCAs) goes to a wireless video transmitter I have that sends signal to a few receivers I have around the house.
As I understand it with this DVR (coming from an older 5xx model) i can tape something and watch something at the same time. Does this mean on my main TV I can tape something in SD and watch something in HD simultaneously? or vice versa? Or does it only mean i can tape something (HD or SD) on the first tuner and tape something simultaneously or watch something (SD) on my other TVs?
if i am recording something on discovery channel will it automagically record it from discoveryHD if available or do I need to set my timer on the discoveryHD channel instead of the discovery SD channel?
Also new to Dish's HD service and from time to time I am seeing the picture (but not the sound i dont think) lag just for a second and then catch back up. Is this normal?
I have also had NESN (red sox network) go black on me a few times for just a second or two (cant remember if ilost sound or not also) while watching a game. Is this dish? HD? NESN? normal?

Here's the rundown. First off, don't think in terms of HD or SD. I'm assuming that the output to your HDTV and your wireless transmitter are the same program (same picture on both). You have to think of the tuners themselves.
A timer (either DVR or AutoTune) will always have priority. Tuner 1 you were watching NESN and Tuner 2 was recording "some program". When the timer for The Office kicked off, it took over the tuner that wasn't already recording, which stopped your game. The way you could have gotten around that is if you have an antenna hooked up to the 622 you could have recorded The office off of your antenna (a timer) and your Tuner 2 timer would continue, leaving Tuner 1 available to watch the game. With two satellite tuners and the Over The Air tuner you can literally record three programs at the same time and watch something pre-recorded at the same time.
Summary:
SAT Tuner 1 idle; SAT Tuner 2 idle; OTA idle;
SAT channel timer will choose an idle SAT Tuner
SAT Tuner 1 watching; SAT Tuner 2 idle; OTA idle;
SAT channel timer will choose SAT Tuner 2, since it's idle
SAT Tuner 1 watching; SAT Tuner 2 idle; OTA idle;
two SAT channel timers will choose SAT Tuner 1 & SAT Tuner 2. You can watch an OTA channel, since it's idle
SAT Tuner 1 idle; SAT Tuner 2 idle; OTA watching;
two SAT channel timers will choose SAT Tuner 1 & SAT Tuner 2. You're OTA program is uninterrupted
...I think you'll get it...but remember, a OTA timer will only record on the OTA tuner. As an example, I solved my timer problem on Tuesday nights by recording Biggest Loser (HD or SD) on a SAT Tuner, Deadliest Catch (HD) on the other SAT tuner and House on OTA tuner (004-01 in DFW). I can record all three programs and watch something I recorded Monday night while all that is going on.
The magic of DVRs.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Simple, charming. Entire premise is quite silly but Cary Grant carries it across the line in good fashion.

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"
