adding a third box - can I?

1093 Views 9 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  BattleZone
I currently have a 722 in the living room and a 622 in the bedroom. The 722 runs a TV in the play room for the kiddo. I am looking to upgrade the old tube tv in the playroom and, in so doing, need to consider how I will get an HD signal to it.

I guess I will need a third box. Is there anyway around this?

If not, can my one dish power three boxes?

also - the TV that will be going in the play room.....I would like to be able to take it outside to watch on the deck when the weather permits. I can't think of an easy way to do this without having the third box (if that is the route I have to go) go portable and move out there. How would that work? Would they (dish installer) just run a line out there that is "hot" allowing me to move the box at will?

I am sure some of you guys have gone through this already. Can you shed any light?

In order to determine what you may need, it would be necessary to know what you already have.

That being said, if you already have, or added a DPP44 switch, it is capable of running up to 4 622/722's, requiring just one feed from the switch to each receiver.
