Hi,
I'm thinking of jumping onto the Dish bandwagon because of it's HD content. The only experience I saw with satellite TV was a when I had VOOM for the last few months of it's existence. I have some questions about Dish and satellite TV in general that I was wondering if people here had the answers to.
I have two TV's I want to hook up. An HD TV and an SD TV. I want to have DVR on the HD TV. Now I've read the 622 has two tuners that can support 2 TV's.
Will I only have to pay one $5.00 receiver fee?
Will I be able to watch separate programming on the 2nd TV while watching and recording something on the HD TV at the same time.
I have an OTA antenea supplied to me by VOOM which is not in use right now.
Can this antenea be hooked up to the 622 and does it operate the same way the OTA antenea operated with VOOM?
Will these channels came in HD where available?
If I also get the local package Dish offers will I get two sets of local channels?
A few months ago, Dish was charging $100 if you wanted to get the VOOM channels.
Is this still the case?
How many dishes will I need?
Finally, and I realize that this answer depends on location, climate, etc. , but how reliable in the picture with Dish? Overall, are there lots of fade outs, pixelization, break up, etc.?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
