I would think the question should be, "Is there much of a decrease in picture quality?"
Unless you have a bad cabling system (home distribution system)....
I would think that the ViP 622's stereo modulated RF output using good cable or RG-6, and sent to a distant television would be better; than taking the TV2 composite SD signal, coverting it to RF, and sending it across the house to a receiver to feed a TV.
But you are probably trying to figure out a way to send the ViP 622 TV2 SD output as a HD signal to another television.

Does anyone have a reply that has actually tried this? The composite #2 output is a downconverted HD pic that is supposed to be in 480i. Does it remain in a 480i when using a video sender. That would have to be better than modulated channel. I'll probably just have to fork out the 60 bucks and try it. Thanks guys.
the 622 has a good modulator, you would only get a better picture by running a direct cable from the video outputs. Also that $60 modulator probably won't encode stereo sound.
Ok A modulator takes audio and video and turns it to RF like Channel 41 or whatever channel you select. I think the 622 can do this but not your DVD player.
You could get one for your dvd player but like the previous poster said the $60 one just do mono audio. I have a set up like that but my main TV is stereo and I dont care about the rest of the house. Anyway you would get a signal combiner and just combine the two RF outs from the 625 and the modulator for the DVD and distrubute that to the other sets and walla you have to independent channels for your viewing. Done.
Video Sender = Wireless Modulator.
I think the RF Modulator and the Composite Video have the same resolution, but using the Composite Video and Stereo Audio connectors provides a better quality signal; just as the direct cable generally provides a better signal than transmitting through the air across town.
So if you take the TV2 Composite Output, feed it into a Composite In/Composite Out Video Sender, then I think you would have accomplished nothing more than taking a perfectly good signal and converting it multiple times to degrade it less than the ViP 622's Stereo Modulated Output signal.
Maybe I'm wrong, and there are high quality video senders that will give you the same quality output as the original input.
If your other TV is EDTV or HDTV, and you are looking for a second HD signal to feed it, then maybe you should look into another receiver, maybe a single tuner HD, like the ViP 211.

Userloser it sounds like you are the pioneer on this video sender subject so if you decide to try it let us all know how it turns out.
Was getting ready to purchase one but after reading some reviews of differ senders, most were not recommending them because of too much interference from all the other devices in your home that also use the 2.4 ghz. At best the pic quality was good but not always constant. Maybe if I hear of one that's works better I'll give it a shot and report back the results. Thanks for the help guys
Yep, the 2.4GHz has gotten cluttered between cordless phones and wireless modems, and the 5GHz band is not far behind it. Besides cordless phones, I see a few more laptops are now using Wireless-A (5GHz) in addtion to Wireless-B+G (2.4GHz).
Thanks for the update.
