hmmm...ought to be interesting to see how they're going to wire this without making a complete mess...but most seem happy. It obviously works....Ron Barry said:They will have to run a cable or use your existing cable. What ever makes sense. It is not wireless for sure. Basically your 622 outputs both TV1 and TV2 on your coax to a specific channel. You then tune to that channel with your other TV.
You can also ouput TV2 via component, but I assume your 2nd TV is too far for that.
I've used Leapfrog to change my D* IR remote to UHF. Worked flawlessly until my 18 month old thought it was a fun toy to take apart!sNEIRBO said:RCA, Leapfrog and several others make a wireless A/V sender. You connect a transmit base to your receiver with either the RCA R/W/Y cable, or a co-ax. Then you connect a receiver base to your other TV again either with RCA or Co-ax. The units transmit on a 2.4GHz frequency and work pretty well. Signal will go through walls, floors, etc.
I use one to transmit from my 622 in the Living Room to an under cabinet widescreen TV in the Kitchen. I hooked up the transmit base to the RCA connection on Tuner 1 of the 622, so that I get the widescreen picture in the Kitchen. Then I use the TV2 RF remote to control the 622 from the Kitchen.
Both the video and audio is very good quality on that TV. With just the DISH screen saver bouncing around the screen - there is no audio hissing or popping. Video looks great too. My friends thought it was the coolest thing they'd ever seen this weekend. They could get up to get a beer during the Tigers playoff games this weekend, and not miss anything while doing it.
I guess my point is, there is a way to transmit wirelessly, but it's not included as part of the 622 receiver. You'd have to buy some additional equipment (for about $100 on eBay) to do it. I have the Leapfrog unit and it works great. My cheap sister bought some knock off model (paid $50 on eBay) and her's is terrible. Stick with the name brands.
I am curious about this also.Ron Barry said:They will have to run a cable or use your existing cable. What ever makes sense. It is not wireless for sure. Basically your 622 outputs both TV1 and TV2 on your coax to a specific channel. You then tune to that channel with your other TV.

That would be great if I can hook up my second TV without another hole in a wall. Can anyone else here confirm that this would work with a diplexed OTA antennae like I have? thanks,ChuckA said:You can diplex the 622 modulated output back into the incoming coax. Mine is setup that way and it works fine. However, I don't have the OTA antenna diplexed into this same coax. I'm not sure if all that on one wire will work correctly but it may be worth a shot.
