Adding a H20.......

[bfncbs1]

I plan on adding a H20 to the house and my question is this.

Currently I have 3 SD receivers that are fed off the old dual LNB dish(via multiswitch)......I have a HR20-100 that was installed last year off a new slimline dish and is fed directly to the living room from the dish, no switch of any kind in between.

To add the H20 will it require that I add a multiswitch for the new dish? Does it take 2 cables for the H20? I'm trying to avoid having a installer come I would just rather do it myself. Thanks in advance!

I believe non-dvr's such as the H20 only have 1 input.

The slimline dish has 4 outputs on the LNB, so 2 should still be free. You only need one for the H20/21/23.

For some reason I thought HD receivers needed 2 connections.

Nope, just DVRs.

On a side note you can add a WB68 multiswitch to your slimline and move the SD receivers to it also if you'd like to get rid of the old dish.
