They told me that the turbo hd should be no problem but that the local channels would not be able to be gotten in hd becuase the neighbors tree is in the way, that I should be able to get them in sd. They also told me that even though when I signed up and selected a dvr for my hd tv and a reviecer for my other that the other would be the second tuner on the dvr and that that tv woulf technicly not be tru hd. Whats going on
Install Guys here and I have a question

Its possible that your HD locals are on a satellite that you do not have line of sight to but you may still get SD locals. HD is carried on 61.5 or 129. As for the DVR, both the 622 and 722 HD DVRS are indeed HD on TV1 but tv2 is just SD. You can view HD content but it will be downconverted.
is it possible to get tru hd on both tv's? The site did not make it clear that the second tv I selected would not be hd, it made me choose hd or sd and I picked hd, really mis leading
You either need a second HD receiver or HD DVR. That's another $7 or $12. Refuse the install if you're not getting what you need.
Yes, it is somewhat misleading. If you want HD on both tv's you have to make a decision; you can use the one receiver you have, hook one tv up via HDMI and then run component cables to the second tv, but both tv's will have to watch the same thing. Alternatively, you could get a second receiver, maybe something like a 211 (if you only want one tuner in the second room), and have that with your second tv.
You need two HD Receivers to have HD on both TVs. Only Dual tuners currently available support HD on TV1 and SD on TV2.
If your in Ohio and getting HD locals, you must be in Cleveland or Cincinnati. They are on 61.5 and 77, respectively. These are to the southwest.
Sounds like your getting a western arc setup, the standard 110/119/129 with a Dish 1000.2. Cleveland HD locals look like they will be mirrored to 129 at some point. SD locals are on 110.
To get HD on both TVs, you need 2 receivers. Not sure what site you looked at, but if you looked at the HD receivers page at Dish it clearly says

I guess I as expecting two recievers based on my order is submited. It was charging my 7 for the addtional reciever, or so I thought. Looks like western based off of what I can heard them talking about.
If there was an addiional $7 charge it would be for a 2nd receiver. Do not sign off on the install until you are satisfied. Call E* and talk to them if need be. These orders get screwed up.
Wow they have this all screwed up. My turbo hd bronze turned into bronze classic 100 with local and hd, about $20 more a month when it is all said and done. and my cinemax for a penny is gone
You will only cause yourself problems by signing off on an install that isn't correct.
