Actually my dishnetwork 721 has two sets of analog outs: both with stereo audio and composite video(obviously split inside the box). There is also one s-video, which could be split if you wanted to...and there is one optical out.

...and BTW the 721 series and 508 series were the last "DVR's" with no monthly TIVI-like fee.
My living room 721 feed 990s VID-2 in. My downstairs 721 feeds 990's Vid-3 in. OF course we can watch whatever we want on zone 2 or record thru zone 2 or bypass zone 2 and go direct into the Panasonic DVD recorder.

Nice thing about a DVR built in is you can burn DVDs after recording (often in middle of nite).

My downstairs 721 feeds downstairs equipment as well. I bought a second remote for the downstairs since they are RF as well as IR...so I can control downstairs from upstairs.

What the heck
