Vip622: What is the purpose of single mode without using shared view?

[sofakng]

I'm a little confused on something...

The manual says this:

Single Mode
Single Mode provides dual-tuner receiver features—like Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and the
ability to watch one live program while recording another—to all connected TVs.

Further in the manual it says this:

USING SHARED VIEW
Shared View is a feature of Single Mode that lets you activate the TV2 audio and video
outputs to display the same programming as the TV1 outputs. While using this feature,
both the Remote Control 1 and Remote Control 2 for your satellite receiver can control
what is displayed on all TVs connected to the system. This feature is available only in
Single Mode.

What is the purpose of using single mode without shared view?

It sounds like single mode outputs to all televisions without using shared view...

Shared View is always enabled in Single Mode. There's no way to turn it off.
The manual is just telling you there it's there.

I turned off shared view on my 722k the other day while experimenting and it changed the output on TV2 to a message screen indicating TV2 had been disabled.

I was trying to figure out why they would add an option to turn off that output and figured one out.

Mom & Dad are watching porn on TV 1, and don't want the kids to see it on TV 2.

Ahhh, thanks for the information.

One other (unrelated) question...

What is the best way to extend UHF range? Right now my receiver is downstairs (inside the home theater room) but my attached televisions are upstairs.

Can I just run a long RG6 cable to the upstairs and stick the antenna on the end of it?

I'm sharing the receiver's output via HDMI and HDMI splitters, so I don't use the TV2 jack at all.

You don't need to use rg-6, any type of coax will work.

Bingo! Porn or any other "embarrassing" content such as a fella who doesn't want anyone to know they watch chick flicks.
