Question about 622

Hello

I am curious about something that the Sales guy told me about the 622 when I placed my order. He said that I can record 1 program and watch 1 each (on my HDTV in the living room and Stand. Def. TV in the bedroom) with the 622. He emphasised that I will not be able to record 2 programs at the same time like my DTV Tivo did. I most likely will not be installing/using an OTA.

With a setup like this will I or will I not be able to record 2 channels at once? Also, while recording 2 channels (if possible) how many would I be able to watch at the same time. I tried to research this online but could not find anything that answered my question. If I missed something, I apologize, and would appreciate if you guys were kind enough to point me to the same.

Thank you.

It is quite a bit different from a stock DTV Tivo, and worlds away from a hacked DTV Tivo, but if you just want to tape and watch some shows it does pretty good. To help you in your research think of the following

SAT1 = TV1
SAT2 = TV2
OTA1 = TV3

DVR1 = TV1
DVR2 = TV2

Now, like they said above, you may record on the top 3 and watch the bottom two simultaneously. You can even record on TV1 & TV2 while watching TV3 live. There is plenty of "ui' work left to be done on this unit but it gets the job done and it does it reliably, which is more than I can say about the HR20-700 which is about the biggest boat anchor ever conceived.

Thanks. But if I understand this right, then if I record on the top 2 then I cannot watch live TV (since I dont have OTA). Correct?

Thanks Again.

Correct.

And to recap.

You have Inputs (3 Tuners), a Hard Disk Drive, and Outputs (TV1 and TV2).
The Outputs get their programming from either the Tuners or the Hard Disk Drive.

You have 3 tuners (2 sat's & 1 OTA); the tuners can each receive a different live program at the same time and record them to the Hard Disk Drive. This is regarless if TV1 Output or TV2 Output is on or off.

You have 2 outputs for your viewing enjoyment, TV1 Output (his/HD) and TV2 Output (her/SD).

TV1 Ouput can watch (live) what is coming in on Sat Tuner 1 with pause function; or
TV1 Output can watch (live) what is coming in on the OTA Tuner with pause function; or
TV1 Output can watch (recorded) a show from the hard disk, including a show currently being recorded from any tuner.
However, it can only do one of the above 3 at any given time.

TV2 Ouput can watch (live) what is coming in on Sat Tuner 2 with pause function; or
TV2 Output can watch (recorded) a show from the hard disk, including a show currently being recorded from any tuner.
However, it can only do one of the above 2 at any given time.

Although TV2 Output can not watch the OTA Tuner live and pause it, Remote 1 can set the OTA tuner to Record to the HDD, and then TV2 Output can watch the OTA recording with a few seconds delay. This can be done while TV1 Output is watching Sat Tuner 1 live.

And of course, neither TV1 or TV2 Outputs can skip forward pass the current point of live recording.

Stupid question #247, does the 622 have a QAM decoder on the OTA input?

See ya

Not a stupid question, but, the 622 has no QAM tuner.

Thanks. I was afraid of that. I have ultra super-basic cable for local channels. This level includes the HD local channels + TNT HD and Discovery HD. But they are all QAM64. I guess I will need an antenna if and when I go with the 622. But Dish will not just send me a receiver. I do not want an installer! Have I mentioned that before?

See ya

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Dish 811 does QAM, no DVR though.

you might get one off eBay, but be sure to verify the S and R numbers with dish so you know there are no charges pending on the receiver.

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....

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

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.

Actually I survived despite them for 31 years and two expait assignments. But the quest for the current quarter's profits doomed long term vision, planning and actions.
