Dumb 622 Question - How to set 720p vs. 1080i?

[kovach]

I thought those settings were only for locals you received from a separate antenna, that the 622 sent a 1080i signal for everything through the dish.

Is there a way to actually set the 622 to use 720p vs. 1080i?

I have a TV which is 720p (although will convert 1080i signals), so if it is possible to set the 622 to provide a 720p signal, I'd like to.

Thanks.

System menu.

Yes - On the remote: press Menu - System Setup (6) - HDTV Set up (8). Use that screen to make your selections. (This is on page 100 in your User's Guide.)

Ok, I did do that originally.

The folks at Dishnetwork told me that only controled what was coming through my antenna that I hooked into my 622 though. That's not true?

The "offair" choice threw me off...that's speaking of both the dish and the antenna?

Welcome to our long running , ever popular show: CSR ROULETTE!

Yes, it's all output. Hopefully we will soon have native pass thru also.

So "off air" is the correct choice in that "analog type" box?

What are those other choises used for in there?

 

[navychop]

Not at home, can't address that question now- I don't remember the screen exactly. But I expect that the choice is off air vs cable, so off air it would be- but the ViP622 only picks up digital stations, so why the "analog" ???

Yeah its in your system menu under "HDTV Setup".
