722 Multiple HD Outputs?

[ERSanders]

I have two 722's and four HD TV's.

How can I connect all of the TV's to both of the 722's?

By doing this (if possible) I can watch HD from either 722 on any of the TV's, e.g., by selecting Input 1 or 2.

Being a naturally born cheapskate rolleyes: its a genetic thing I got from my Dad) I would love a low cost solution.

Unfortunately there is no way to deliver HD to all 4 sets with 2 722's, you would need 4 of them to have HD on all 4.

You can deliver HD to all 4 sets with 2 722's if you don't want to view 4 different sat channels on the 4 HDTVs. Both HDMI and Component cables are active, so run one to one HDTV, the other to another. Now All 4 HDTVs get HD, but each pair of TVs have to view the same programming.

You can't (without some switches) get one 722 to all 4 HDTVs.

Get this:
Monoprice 4X2 True Matrix HDMI 1.3a Powered Switch w/ Remote Controller (Rev. 3.0) | Auto/Powered HDMI Switch

I have one 722 hooked up to 3 HDTVs and two SDTVs.

If I wanted just to hook up two HD Tv's to a 722 could I run one on HDMI tuner output and the other on Component tuner output?

YES...all outputs are hot at the same time, but the HD channel will be shared. (no independent viewing)

Does the TV2 remote operate the 722 in single mode? Also anyway to switch between single mode and dual mode from TV2 remote?

Yes the TV2 UHF remote also works in single mode. I think you have to switch between single and dual mode at the receiver.

 

[ERSanders]

Well, I have found at least a partial solution...

I have the two 722's hooked up to the nearby TV's with component cables. I then ran two 50' Insten HDMI cables from the 722's to the third HDTV and used two of the three HDMI inputs to switch between the two receivers. Now to go from breadboard cables across the floor to getting them into the walls.

You also have to have "shared view" enabled. If you don't it ignores the TV2 remote. Setting it to disabled is something that is useful if you don't need the TV2 outputs and Don't want some neighbors remote changing your channels.
