John,
Thanks for the info. I have no problem buying from an online dealer that's not Dish. In fact I believe I bought the original setup from 4dws.
Would I be able to make the 721 work at all with two SW21 switches? In theory, I've got all the right connections in place to run a single 721 right now (with no other receivers). I could do a quad LNB or sw64 later on if I wanted. I'm just trying to spread the expense out as much as possible!
Any pros/cons to using a quad lnb vs the sw64? I'm assuming that you can't watch four independent channels on four different receivers with the sw64+dual LNB, correct? My understanding is that you are limited by the # of LNBs you've got.
So I guess with the sw64 you could watch two different channels *total* at any given time, but spread across four different receivers, right?
Which brings up a question...how do the four receivers interact with each other on the sw64? If you set the channels on the recievers so that they are trying to tune four separate channels simultaneously, does it change channels on the other recievers, or do two of them just lose signal?
