At this time iI have 3 sets hooked up. The family room has the 721, the master bedroom has the 501 and the sons' bedroom has the 301.
Will I be able to install the 942 on the family room, the 721 on the master bedroom and the 501 in the sons bedroom? I currently have the Dish 500 I believe, or will I have to get an additional satellite for one or all the receivers?
I intend on having the 942 set in single mode only in family room for recording multiple same air time shows as with the 721 right now.
I also intend on subscribing to Zoom for the extra HD channels.

You won't need any change in wiring for the swaps in the family room or in your son's room. Unless you have a DishPro plus switch/LNB, you'll need an extra cable run to the master bedroom.

You don't need another satellite dish to add the 942, but you do need one if you want to add the Voom channels.

So if I have Dish tech install the 924 will they install any additional equipment so that I can keep the 721 and the 501 and have 3 working DVR's. Would there be any additional charges do you think?

Whatever the tech had to put to install the dish 500 and the 721 dvr. I know nothing about
the install since techs' installed all of my equipment.
