I have a dish 500 system with two recievers a 301 and a 508 both of them have a sw21 switch. I want to upgrade my 301 with a 721 that I currently bought. How can I install the 721 reciever. I dont have any idea at all.
Can anyone help me?

You need to replace the SW-21s with a SW-44. There will be four connections to the SW-44, two from the 119 LNB abd two from the 110 LNB. The SW-44 supports four tuners, one for your 301, one for your 508 and two for your 721. You will need to run two new cables (from the SW-44) to your new 721.

Thanks Bill I got it now. I only buy the SW-44 and buy another adittional cable since I am only staying with the 508 and the 721. A Question Bill:
With the 721 I can hook up two televisions is this correct?

Technically, you could run the outputs to as many TVs as you wish, however they would all be viewing the same content. The 522, 942, 322 receivers are the ones that run two TVs with two different outputs (and two remote controls).
