I am trying to figure if I will need a seperate toslink digital audio cable from my tv and the 622 or will the 622 pass the ota dolby 5.1 audio stream?
Also, I see no reason to subscribe to local service as the channels in LA are all digital and I already receive them via antenna. I understand the program guide will not populate the local channel unless I pay for local dish service.....what happens to the dvr function. If there is no program guide for ota...how do I tell the 622 to always record a program? Does it become a fancy dumb vcr in this respect....I have to tell it when to stop and start recording?
