this unit can record 4 channels, but it's in Australia, do we need to sort out some kind of compatible issue on these tuner?

So if we connects the HDMI Out of a Dish receiver such as VIP 222, to the HDMI In of this box, can we record 4 channels?

or does it only works in Australia?

No, the 222 only has two tuners and you would need to connect both tuner 1 and tuner 2 outputs to separate inputs in order to record. The 222 would need to be set for the channels being recorded. It does not matter how many tuners the recorder would have.

Why would you want to spend that much on a PVR, that would only record in SD, if it even worked? You can get a Hopper that is a hell of a lot better for nothing but a 2 year commitment from Dish. Or, if your not in CONUS, but in a grey market area, you can still buy a Hopper and get it activated for much cheaper. Or a 722 for that matter.

First I'm surprised there are DVR recorders available with HDMI inputs. Are you sure it records from any source with an HDMI out? Or does it require a matching Cable box to supply the signal?
What you want to do using the HDMI ports may work for whatever channel you were watching only assuming that DVR accepts any HDMI input. There is no HDMI out for tuner 2 so that would be SD only. I doubt if that receiver just simply processes HDMI coming into it bypassing encryption. (Not DISH encryption, the HDCP encryption.)

According to the user's manual, the power supply internal to this DVR can handle different voltages and frequencies, including what we have. The cord may need adapting, though.

The tuners are the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard used in Australia and will not work with U.S. broadcast TV.

You can read the user manual: https://beyonwiz.com.au/t4/manual/Beyonwiz_T4_User_Manual_eng 090614.pdf

That is along the lines of what I was thinking. You can't buy a standalone DVR that works in the U.S. with HDMI inputs, at least not that would decode the signal. (Other than a non consumer grade model somewhere)

The tuners are the international DVB standard type used worldwide for terrestrial broadcast and is not the ATSC transmission type that we use in North America.

The HDMI input or output does not indicate if it is capable of the 60hz refresh rate that we use in North America. Aldso, it also does not indicate if it is capable of recording or playback of DRM protected programming.

Seems like a lot of money to spend on a single input DVR.

Edit: Sorry, duplicated information in earlier post.

That was the reason I said in SD only (if it has Composite/RF inputs) if it would even work. I figured, that on the off chance the HDMI DID work, DRM would probably prevent anything from being recorded.
I don't see why the OP would even want to think about going that route with a Dish receiver. He could get a 722 series or a Hopper MUCH more economically.

Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) is a set of standards that define digital broadcasting using existing satellite, cable, and terrestrial infrastructures. In the early 1990s, European broadcasters, consumer equipment manufacturers, and regulatory bodies formed the European Launching Group (ELG) to discuss introducing digital television (DTV) throughout Europe. The ELG realized that mutual respect and trust had to be established between members later became the DVB Project. Today, the DVB Project consists of over 220 organizations in more than 29 countries worldwide. DVB-compliant digital broadcasting and equipment is widely available and is distinguished by the DVB logo. Numerous DVB broadcast services are available in Europe, North and South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. The term digital television is sometimes used as a synonym for DVB. However, the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) standard is the digital broadcasting standard used in the U.S.

DVB-T: (Terrestrial Over The Air most commonly using MPEG2; pretty much everywhere except in the USA).

DVS-S: (for Satellite used by Dish for all services and by DirecTV for HD services--However, various upgrades to DVB-S and/or some services at DVB-S2).

ATSC: (Terrestrial Over the Air broadcasts in USA) ASTC and DVB-T are INCOMPATIBLE.

This box is a DOA for Dish: Australia is legacy PAL; USA is legacy NTSC. While PAL and NTSC truly refer to analog broadcast systems, PAL and NTSC is still used to refer to the frame rate of the signals from the analog outputs of any box. Put simply, Australia and New Zealand still uses 25fps for its legacy TV's, while USA still uses 30fps (yes, truly a fraction LESS than 30 accounting for burst) for its legacy TV's. This means the Aus/NZ box input is INCOMPATIBLE with the Dish box output.

Now, there are even MORE reasons why this won't work the way the OP wants (trying to marry a satellite earth station box with a stand alone PVR (TiVo has a trademark on "PVR" in this country--that they don't even use anymore--and this is why we use the "DVR" moniker, instead), but there is no point in going in to all of that because it is still DOA of an idea. This idea never had a chance. OP, save yourself some money and find another solution, but I still don't know what the main point was? Was it to increase the number of tuners? That was already answered in a previous post.
