You also need to look at your dish, how many outputs it has, and how many are in use. If you have an existing multiswitch, are there any available outputs. If you don't have an open port someplace, you will need to replace the dish or add a multiswitch also.

Your dish probably has two outputs. With that you can feed two separate receivers, or one DVR with 2 inputs.

If you order an R15 or basic receiver from DirecTV, the installer will do what is necessary to connect both inputs, including replacing the dish and/or adding a multiswitch. If you choose to do the work yourself, then you will need to do that work also.

If you have never had or used a DVR, you might want to consider it. Once you use one, you will wonder how you ever did without.
