I currently have a single dish with a dual lnb and a sw21 switch. I have two recievers, and two cables running off the dish into the house. I am considering a 721 to replace my main receiver. I subscribe to the top 150 if that makes any difference (dish 500, two satellite) Can someone point to a place to describe what I would need to do, or tell me what I would need to do to install the 721.

The first thing you need is a Quad LNBF and a second line run from the Dish to the location where you want the 721. The PVR-721 is a 2 turner receiver it will not work with only one line run from the dish to the receiver. You must have one line from the dish to each of the tuners, no you cannot use a splitter!

You can probably buy another dish 500 for cheaper if you are capable of installing it yourself. If not then the quad is the way to go, but can be pricey.
