OK, First of all, sorry to be asking this! I know there have been multiples of multiple threads and posts about this. I have seen on these threads, from what I understand, that you CAN record two _HD_ programs at once on the satellite feeds meaning you can record HD from both tuner 1 and tuner 2. DishNetwork CSRs, CSRs who ask their supervisors, and even a guy from the executive office (after _many_ calls inquiring about this subject) say tuner 2 will only have SD and that you can't record HD on tuner 2. Only one HD and one SD program at the same time. I am not concerned about the antenna input as I can't receive any but I understand you can record HD on that. While I would tend to believe people on these forums over Dishnetwork employees, they are very insistant that you can't record two HD programs at once from the satellite feeds. I am not sure why I am so worried about this subject because I would probably record mostly in SD anyway because of the space limitations for HD. But, if all the people at Dishnetwork are misinformed on this subject something needs to be done about it.

If you record 2 programs from HD channels (that say they are being broadcast in HD) at the same time is there some way of knowing that they were both actually recorded in HD onto the hard drive. That one, from tuner 2, even though it says HD _was_ recorded in HD and not recorded in SD?

A second question concerning the 622. Can I hook up a 622 to my SD tv (until I can afford to get the 32" HD lcd tv I want) and get all programs including downrezzed HD channels on both tuner 1 and tuner 2? I believe I can use S-video or component connections. I think, from what I have read on these forums, that S-video is usually better than even component for SD programming. Is this correct?

Thanks for any replies! And again, sorry for asking this. But Dishnetwork people are so positive about this even though I tell them people on the satellite forums disagree.
