HR 20 Component and HDMI

533 Views 6 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  iacas
I know some of the Dish Recievers can output both Component and HDMI at the same time. does any one know if the HR20 can as well. Reason i ask is i have a HD Tivo box with OTA HD but bad reception and DTV is going to swap my Tivo box for the HR 20 for free and was wondering about the outputs cause i would like a reciever that could run two HD tv without a expensive splitter.

thanks.

just to clarify so you are saying i can run one HD tv with component and the other with HDMI at the same time. Does composite output as well if its 480i?

I can confirm exactly what hasan said. It's really nice if you have a way to distribute the component video signal (BALUNs or something similar) to be able to drive multiple HD sets.

Just don't ask them to show two different shows at the same time :)
I will confirm yet another time. I have HDMI to one TV, have the component hooked up to another input on my AVR for another source, and I have the S Video hookedup to a non HDTV in another room.

They all work.

In fact, it will downconvert HD content to 480i. So, you can output a signal on ALL interfaces ALL the time - HDMI, S-video, and component. If it's HD, the first and the last will show it while the s-vid downsamples. But they're all active, all the time.
