Hello All,

I already have an HR20-100, but want to add a second for personal (re: not the wife's) use in my den/office. I will only have access to one dish connection in that room as I can't pull a second line without major wall destruction.

Question: Can I setup an HR20/21 to use only one dish connection?

Also: Are there any deals to be had for current DirecTV subscribers wanting to add a second HR20/21?

Thanks in Advance...

Yes it can be run off one SAT feed. Make sure to connect the second BBC to SAT #2 as this seems to keep the DVR from "thinking" there are two SAT feeds connected.
Deals vary by so many things, that I can't answer that.

Also rememer with one sat connection you get one tuner and can only record one thing at a time or watch live and record what yo are watching. You can not watch and record two different channels.
