upgrading to HWS

[hendo]

Hi,

Well, I've pulled the trigger to upgrade my triple 722 setup to a dual HWS + 4 joeys, at no charge. I hope this was the right way to go, install is in a week, so I've got time to change it up. I've got 6+ TVs but really only need discrete control over 5, figure I can mirror the remainder with all of the various HDMI splitters, switches I have for my current setup.

One question, can I take an SD signal off the HWS and broadcast it on a channel (using a channel converter) thus simulating that same capability from the 722?

Thanks,
Dave

By channel converter, if you me RF modulator, yes. But, as you said, it would mirror whatever is being watched on the Hopper or Joey you connect to. You could drop one Joey and save yourself $7 a month.

And that TV would be in SD.....

Yep, RF Modulator is what I meant. The wife doesn't really know the difference yet (she's been living in the RF Modulated world of the 722 for some time on the alternate TVs), but once she witnesses the HD goodness of the Joey, I'm sure the SD picture of old will be frowned upon. thanks for the replies!

I hope the three tuners of one Hopper will be enough for you. For $3 month more you could swap one of those Joeys for a Super Joey. This way you'd have five tuners for all your recording/viewing needs.

How many people need glasses in this thread? He already mentioned he's getting 2 HWS.

You're right. For some reason my eyes just skipped over the dual part and read the HWS + 4 Joeys. Stupid brain.

I have customers with 10 to 15 TVs in there house. The one is like a hotel with all the guest rooms they have.
