I have a new home that is being built and have a few questions about wiring before the drywall hanging begins. We are currently using Dish Network and we are planning on purchasing HDTV's to put on the walls in three bedrooms, master bathroom, living room, and office. What is the most feasible way to do this... I am currently using a DISH 722 and I know that is can send a SDTV signal to a second TV. My initial thought was this.
DISH 722 DVR: HDTV signal to living room and SDTV signal to office.
DISH VIP 222: HDTV signal to master bedroom and SDTV signal to master bathroom.
DISH VIP 222: HDTV signal to bedroom #2(daughter's room) and SDTV signal to bedroom #3 (guest room).
Now for just a couple questions.
1. Will I have to purchase the additonal DISH receivers (VIP 222's) or does DISH tack on a $5.00 charge for usage of the additional receivers.
2. With regards to running cables, what will give me that best quality picture on the SDTV. By looking at the back of the receiver it looks like you have to use a composite cable to hook up to the second TV. (I was hoping to use component.)
I dont want to have the drywall hung and then realize that I have things wired wrong.
