Depends on the model the dish vip 722, tv2 has composite/analog audio out,
in addition to the rf output.

tv1 has hdmi, component, svideo, composite, fiber digital audio and analog
stereo outputs

the 522 also has a dvr that really sucks.  I'm building a myth box
to take over the dvr functions.  UPS just delivered the cpu and cooler.
Still waiting for FedEX.

Don't see much in the wiki about dish network.

I will be adding my box to the wiki as soon as I know how it comes out.

Any more advice or comments about dish network, configuration,
hardware, software, etc.?
