I've seen many posts on this board exlaining the varied results people are getting use the 522 on one TV. However, I'm more interested in knowing how it works with TWO TVs
My situation is a pretty normal one. I have a main TV in the living room, and that's where I want the DVR. I have a second one in the bedroom, and I don't have much need of a DVR in there (it's very rarely used, but I DO want a tuner in there for when I want to watch).
I was balking at paying $4.99 a month for a TV I'll rarely use, but the 522 seems to be the answer I'm looking for.
Now, I would like to record a show and watch another live show at the same time, which is why I liked the 721. But I can still make that work here by using the TV2 to record most of my "scheduled" recordings, and using the TV one for live TV watching and spur-of-the-moment recording.
The real question here is: Am I missing something? Is there a "gotcha" I haven't thought of yet?
I'm someone who likes to be very sure about things before he spends any time and money, so I've searched through this forum extensively. If I've missed a post where this is already discussed, just point me there.
Also, is there any receiver from DirecTV with Tivo that has the same functionality as the 522? (I realize that probably belongs in the DirectTivo forum, but this saves space.
