1.Sorry for this probably dumb question, but will my child be able to watch a different program on a 2nd tv in her bedroom with the 622 in my bedroom?


2. Will this be one additional accees fee of $6 if I have another receiver in the house already? plus the DVR fee.


3.How does it work so my child is able to watch a diffrent program in her room.


4. I have the 120 with locals now in Los Angeles. Is that the silver or bronze package?

5. Will the HD locals be showing without the off-air antenna because I'm in LA?

Thank you so much. My family wants to watch all their different progams in their rooms.

The 622 comes with two remotes. The TV1 remote is IR only and needs to be in the same room as the 622 (normally). The TV2 remote is UHF and controls the independent output through walls (with a coax feed from the 622 to the remote room (S).

1) She can always watch something different than what you are watching on TV1, but there are times where you might be using TV2 to record something and then she'd have to watch that, something already recorded, or whatever is on TV1.

2) Yes, the $6 lease fee and $5.98 DVR fee will be charged for the 622. That will be charged whether you keep the other receiver active or not so you might as well keep it active. If you have TWO existing receivers, you could save the $5/month you now pay if you dropped ONE of them.

3) Magic and mirrors. ;) Two independent outputs - TV1 and TV2.

4) AT120 matches HD Silver. Bronze is AT60. Generally, compare prices and add $20 to the ATxxx price.

5) You are much better to get OTA locals with an antenna, but LA does have the major networks in HD. With an antenna, you can get digital stations not carried via sat. You can also use the OTA digitals as a third input source. TV1 has access to its satellite tuner as well as the OTA tuner. It can be recording something to both of them while still watching something else recorded - without bothering TV2 which might be recording a Sat channel and watching something else from the list of existing recordings.
