I would give anything for the OTA tuner to be able to show up on TV2. What a sneaky way for dish to make you pay for locals (that's if you want them to show up in the guide for TV2).

The OTA tuner is not available on TV2 in dual mode because there is only one. It can be watched on TV2 in single mode. That is done to prevent the TV2 user from trying to watch live OTA and changing the channel for the TV1 user.

Correct, therefore the need for a 2nd OTA tuner. I like how Directv's HD DVR's have one OTA input but has a two way splitter inside that goes to two OTA tuners so that you can watch and record two different programs off the antenna.
Eventually everyone will have to pay for locals whether you want them or not once they get all the local markets up.
BTW, you can watch OTA digitals on the 942's TV2, but the 942 needs to be recording an ATSC station at the time. Just go into the DVR menu, select the currently recording OTA program, fast-forward to the current time, and viola! "Live" OTA programming on TV2...

If the p622 is more than 399 i wont buy it, ive got other toys i'd rather have. I'm
guessing 6-650
The only way I would consider It is if picture quality improved, which I doubt. Or if all the
features its speculated to have where actually available. :up

I know DHA customers are but I think having all the local markets is a good excuse to charge everyone for them and not have the locals as listed seperate as another option to have in addition to the basic packages.
Sorry if this is posted somewhere else, but are there front back pictures somewhere? And does anyone know if there will be an s-video output?
Whats a SDTv. Seriously my old pre-hdtv's are all relegated to game machine and not TV watching. Currently need 2 ViP622 replace my 2 921's and a 411/ViP211 to replace one of my 6000's. Better be a resonable replacemnet plan, and not one that only gives you a discount off just one replacement machine. No I don't want a rental program for each machine.SummitAdvantageRetailer said:

Can I ask why all you folks are so vehemently opposed to leasing/rental? In these heady days of constantly changing transmission and content specs and evolving hardware platforms...what makes more sense? I owned my D* equipment and I felt "locked in" to them and the limitations of my hardware investment--to me, leasing is the smart way to go. What am I not 'getting' here?
In my case, I want to own so that I can sub to just the HD stuff and tell E* to take their ATWhatever package and shove it.shanewalker said:

Yes this is what i like also I have been subbing to AEP since Voom went dark. When i had Voom i also had Dish for the HD!! I spend the money for High Def. If this sounds stuck up well so be it.
