Want to get another HDTV - Are two 622s possible?

OK guys, here's my current situation. Right now I have one HDTV and 3 standard TVs. The HDTV and one standard TV is hooked up via a 622, and my other two standard TVs are hooked up via a 522. Notice that every TV has a DVR. This is a MUST and cannot change! Now, I'm thinking of getting another HDTV, for a total of two HDTVs. Since I want to retain a DVR on EVERY TV, the simplest solution to this would be to get two 622 boxes feeding everything. But I have heard in the past that Dish does not like this for some reason... So my questions are whether or not this setup is possible, and if it isn't, what the best setup is for my situation. Also, how much will I be paying extra? I don't want my bill to go up a penny if possible as I would only be swapping receivers... I currently lease both my receivers and had to pay Dish $300 for the "right" to lease my 622. Gos knows I'm not about to do that again. And finally if all else fails and I can't get a decent offer from Dish, my cable company has been sending me some pretty sweet offers recently... So, basically, what I want to know is how I can set up my house with two HDTVs and two standard TVs with all sets having a DVR. Thanks for any help!

I already have the metal DishHD Gold package (I got it in conjuction with the 622), and got that package JUST before they started the $10 off for 10 months promotion and lowered the leasing price for a 622 to $199, so I payed $299 for mine without any rebate. So now I have one 622 and one 522, and would like to replace my 522 with another 622. So as I understand it I would need to email ceo@echostar.com and pay a $199 upgrade fee. Now, would I be eligible for any rebates this time around? If not cable's going to be the way to go for me once I get the second HDTV.

I'm considering the fact I may have more than one HDTV in the house in the near future. I already have all my DVRs accessible to all my TVs in the house via my whole house system. My 942 (single mode) is directly hooked to my HDTV and TV2 is feed to one of my two 8x8 composite video switchers/matrices for the rest of the house. The 508, 510, DVD & VCR are also feeding the switcher. I am looking to get one more 8x8 switcher so I can feed the house with component video switching (one 8x8 for each of the R-G-B signals). I need to get the component to CAT5 Baluns so I can get the signal to each TV via CAT5 only since I did not run 3 coax cables to each location. This allows me to have all my receivers in one location and viewable at any location so I don't have to set multiple timers of the same show. The switchers aren't cheap, but they are the way to go if you want a clean signal to each set. I have the Elan Z880s. They have a Z883 for a single component switching option rather than (3) Z880s. I also have the Elan System 6 for the audio and IR signal routing.

There are other whole house solutions like Russound & Niles. I just found a local dealer who sold the equipment for cheap on a favor.

Please post what kind of deal you'll be able to get, because I'm in a very similar situation (looking to switch out my 522 for a 2nd 622).

Potential E* subscriber interested in two 622's

I'm interested in subscribing to E*. I have 2 HD sets and 1 SD set. Currently E* will only lease one 622 and one 625 for my setup. If possible I would like to avoid paying for a second 622. As a potential new subscriber could I get a deal on leasing two 622's? Or maybe a price cut on the purchase of a 622? Thanks.

Stupid Question...

I assume that I cannot simply buy another receiver on ebay and hook it up? And that I am limited to 2 receivers? I have a 622 and a 2-tuner dvr (can't remember the number) and just bought another HDTV. I want to hook up this new HDTV to HD programming, but the 622 is already hooked up to my old HDTV (which I want to keep). Thanks for any help.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

No problem here (in central Europe) with a 10-footer. Do note that 9.4 dB required for the lock.

Finally! Some big movement in California diesel pricing (and no, there is no such beastie as a diesel "winter formula").

Crude (combined pricing) is around $90/barrel now, so prices should have, at least, fallen in step with the crude futures.

Just curious here.....then why is diesel so much higher out there than it is elsewhere. Bobby just posted $7.59/gal, locally it is $5.59.....that's two bucks difference. :eeek

California has a ~93¢ per gallon consumer tax rate on automotive diesel, along with significantly higher refinement standards.

The fact that consumers can only buy some new full-sized truck models and a couple of vans with diesel power makes the fuel an odd duck in refinery priorities.

Not seeing many 4k games on the 148 channels lately?

Also I do not see the 4KFox channel on 148-01; I also do not subscribed to our Local Houston channels.

Maybe I need to subscribe to locals or add the National Action Pack? Not sure the extra cost is worth it??

thx for any info or suggestions

Most of the 4K action on the 148-xx channels will be on Saturday for College Football. For whatever reason, the guide does not show the games until later in the week. The Fox Big Noon game will show up, and there will usually be a couple of other games, some on Fox, and some on ESPN.

I don't know if you need to be subscribed to locals to get them.
