I am looking at getting a second HDTV around Christmas time. I currently have an HDTV hooked up to a VIP622 (my only reciever) by a HDMI cable. TV2 on the VIP622 is hooked up to a regular TV by RG6. The regular TV will be replaced by the new HDTV.
I would like to have a HD-DVR hooked up to the new HDTV. Currently we watch more recorded shows than live TV on TV2. I think that a 211 may be a good option at that time if the DVR to an external HDD function has been added by that time. I also like the thought of get a second 622 or a 722 since I know this does work. I really think that a 211 would be better since I may use this reciever in a camper from time to time and an external HDD is easy to replace if it goes bad.
I plan on buying the new reciever. Does any one know what extra fees from E* I can expect if I do this? I know I will not have to pay the lease fee on the second reciever since I will buy it, but will I have to pay a second DVR free for the second 622 or a 722?
Can I use the same external HDD on two different 622's or between a 622 and a 722 with out lossing any of the content on the HDD?
Any other information you can give me about a 2 HDTVs with 2 HD-DVR setup would be a bonus to me.
