Can the 811 output 2 signals?

Reason being is because I have a stand alone (non HD) TiVo but I want to get HD. I had Voom in the past, and with it you can use the Component to output HD and at the same time use composite to output SD, that way I can have an HD signal going to my reciever, and an SD signal going to the TiVo. And if I want to watch a show on TiVo, I just switch inputs on my receiver.

Yes

Oh, also can the TiVo control the DISH unit with a cable? Or will I have to use IR blasters?

Man, I am confused. Someone tell me how I can do this. I just want to watch live TV in HD, but if I record stuff, I don't care if it's HD. I just dont want to miss 24 and Lost because I work when it comes on.

Control is via IR blasting.

Blech. I am spoiled by the serial control with my DirecTV unit. Do any DISH units offer serial control?

And if I set it up with IR control, I would have to use the TiVo remote to change the channel even if I use the HD input that bypasses the TiVo, wouldn't I?

 

[BFG]

No.

Both remotes can change the channel.
