Hopper Output Connections

[Brumbyroo]

Can Hopper component and HDMI outputs be connected to different devices and work properly at the same time?

 

[Hall]

Yes

 

[ERSanders]

... but you'll see the same thing on both devices.

Yep.

Keep in mind you can't do anything funky like link one output to one tuner and the other output to a second one. Same show for both outputs.

Yes it works fine. I have the HDMI going to an Onkyo home theater receiver which I leave off most of the time. And I have the component output connected directly to the Sharp TV. For most TV watching I use component, and for movies or other surround content I use the HDMI. Works great.

You can actually run 3 outputs at once. HDMI, Component and Video. My one Hopper powers 2 HDTVs (HDMI and Component) and 3 SDTVs (Video connected to a whole house RF modulator).

One of my Hoppers has HDMI connected to a Slingbox 500 then to my AV receiver and finally to the TV. Component cables also connected to the Slingbox and the RCA composite video cables are connected to a RCA 8-way powered splitter. Everything works great.

I have all Holland Electronics RF modulators connected to three HWSs and they also work great.
