I'm considering a 522. I currently have a 4700 in the living room with the coax output feeding the bedroom TV. I can use the second remote to flip between Dish and the over-the-air antenna.

Can I do the same with the 522? The user's manual says that I can use the TV/VIDEO button to switch between Dish and the antenna on TV#1. It seems to imply that I have to use the coax output rather than the RCA outputs though. Is that correct?

But will this also work on TV#2 by using the UHF coax output? If not, how else will I get the over-the-air channels on the second TV? There is only one coax going to that TV, and Dish does not offer local channels in my area.

And I assume there is no way to record over-the-air with the 522, correct?

Thanks folks.
