Can I add Dish ViP 612 HD receiver to TV2 "SD"?!

[L0ckh33d]

Hello,

This has probably already been resolved but had difficulty looking for any issue related to mine. I have a single HD DuoDVR ViP 722k reciever, where the main TV has HD but TV2 is only SD. But I have a HD tv on TV2 and want HD output. So can I just call up Dish and order a "Solo" ViP 612 HD receiver for TV2 for my HD TV, or we'll they have to come and do some wiring cables to set it up?

Thanks.

You need satellite feed to each reciever location. So yes a cable rearrangement will need to be inorder.

Have you considered a Hopper?

If you want 2 HDTVs and 1 SDTV you might feed the second HDTV from TV1 with a splitter. Both HDTVs will watch the same program. If you want more flexibility you could get a Hopper and two Joeys for independent viewing at each TV.

He would only need one Joey. Re-read OP.
