I have a 500 system with a VIP 722 DVR. I would like to add a receiver to my system. What type of multiswitch will do the job.

Thanks

Need more info, what type lnb do you have? Is there one or two coax lines going to the receiver?

OK, that sounds more like DishProPlus and a DPP Separator (splitters do not work with Dish Network Equipment. All you would need to do is to run a line from the lnb (there are two or three outputs and you are only using one) to the location of the new receiver. If it happens to be a dual tuner receiver, you would use a separator (which should come with the receiver). Run a check switch, all Dish to activate and you should be done.
