622 install questions

[menelfloss]

Just bought two Sony Bravia's and am getting the Dish HD upgrade.

Getting two 622's. My questions are these:

1. I suspect the best IO is to use HDMI cables between the DVR's and each TV. Does the installer bring them or should I grab a couple before they arrive in order to avoid a coax hook up? (I will be using the single RF on the back of each TV for my Antenna).

2. Will either TV be able to access both of the DVR's, or will each be only viewable by the TV it is hooked up to? (my current SD Dvr 625? can be accessed by both TV's the way they are hooked up now).

3. Is there anything I should request or be aware of during the install/swap?

Thanks in advance for any insights and replies.

Dish does not supply HDMI or component cables with their HD receivers anymore. Your best bet to avoid getting reamed by what Dish does charge for HD cables is to get your own. I get mine from monoprice.com since they have the best prices I've found yet. On the 622, there's no coax output for TV1, so you wouldn't get that anyway. ;D

2. Should work like your 625.

3. I'm a visual person, so that's hard to say without glancing at your system. Good luck and enjoy those!

So you can access a 622 DVR in single mode in one room from a 622 in another room? How? I have 2 and havn't been able to do that. Not that I spent alot of time trying but I didn't think it was possible.
