Dual tuner with 2 other receivers using 3 tvs

Ok here is the deal

I have 3 receivers right now. I think couple are 311 and 1 is 508 DVR. The hard drive on DVR just crapped out,(cant record or view any recorded programs, have to turn off reciever or otherwise it gets stuck on processing screen everytime.) Anyways i was looking at some HD DVR receivers, and it seems all of them are dual tuners. so couple of questions.

1. Is there any HD DVR receiver that is only singal tuner.

2. If i get the dual tuner HD DVR, like the 622, will Dish let me keep the other 2 311's and use only the singal tuner on that 622, or will i have to also cancel one of the 311 and then use the dual tuner on 622 to connect 2 tvs. Basically i dont wanna run wires from the dual tuner to either of the 2 other tv's. I just want 2 tv's remain connected to the 311's and replace the 508 with HD reciever WITH DVR.
Thanks

1. No

2. Yes they will let you have a 622 and 2-311's. However since the 622 is a dual tuner it will require two feeds from your dish/switch setup depending on what you have. Not knowing what dish and switch etc. you have my comments are limited. However I assume you don't have a DPP setup, so that will work you will just keep getting an annoying msg saying one tuner has no feed. But if you don't want to run another wire you will need to switch to DPP and use a separator. But give us more details and we can give you the exact answer you want.
Also NO you do not have to feed a second TV off the 622.
Two more things to remember if you go to the 622 from the 508 you will need to hook up a phone line or get charged a $5 fee. Also you will get charged a $5.99 DVR fee period.

To add to Ke4est the HD programming fee will add $20 to your bill so expect about a $30 to $35 increase in your bill.

I have 2 dishes, 1 for 119,110 and other is for 61.5. Both are dishpro lnbs. Each dish has 1 wire coming out of it and then connected to sw44 or some switch like that and running to each tv. I really dont want any hd programming since i mostly watch international programming, but the reason i was looking at HD receiver because of their component video output and since i am getting a new plasma tv with those inputs i was wondering if the picture would be any better on international channels when hooked up to the component output instead of regular rca or s video output. The $10 fee ($5 dvr $5 phone) is not that much of concern.

You're buying a new plasma and only want to watch SD on it? You will be disappointed.

Component will not help an SD image much, if any. If you REALLY don't want HD, then don't get the ViP622. Save the bucks and get a 625 from Dish, a dealer such as one of the ones advertising at the top of this page, or eBay. In fact, I'd suggest that you just get a replacement 508 from Dish, or buy a used 508 or 721, until you're ready for HD.

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....

Honestly, I would rather see an expanded bracketed playoff system than the current Conference Championship Game + playoff model we're using right now. The Conference Championships essentially allow two teams to beat up on each other, and then both typically are going to end up in the playoffs anyway unless it is one of the weaker or smaller conferences. Let them play it out on the field against others.

Until the Big Ten changed thier alignment, (a couple years ago) ... it was not like that at all, the East side won most years the west side represented the Big Ten, but they may have been the team with the 4th best record ...
They finally changed that, to a single conference ... but yes, in most cases, both teams will get in ... now, its a certain both will get in ...

The biggest issue with the Conference Now is the Number of TEAMS .... WAY to Many.
It would take 2-3 YEARS to do a round robin where everyone would play one another ... How do you know how good a team is when teams don't play the same teams ?

I like the move to campus sites for the early games. That adds a fun new dimension for fans, and cuts down on some of the travel expenses that would come with having to follow a team all the way through the playoffs at neutral sites.

That'd be more than the FA Cup! Over 700 teams. It is also the most glorious tournament in the world.

Maybe it is time to get rid of the College Football season and just go to a tournament. 128 teams, fill in the bottom end with the lower division. Random draw (except the top 10 teams are in one bucket to draw from in the first and second rounds to avoid OSU v Alabama in the first round), go from 128 to 8. 4 games. Then the 8 remaining teams play 7 games against each other. Then the top two play for the title.

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.

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.
