You'll get two Dish 500s. One with a DPP Twin for 110/119, and one with a DP Dual for 61.5. The DP Dual will be connected to the input of the DPP Twin, and there are two output ports. This combo will support up to 2 dual-tuner receivers.
Which Dishes do I get?

Thanks. I can live with 2 500's. Will go with a 722 and 211 for 2 HDTV's and a Standard (that seldom gets used). I just can't believe how good the deal is, with 2 movie channels PLUS the 1 cent Cinemax = $69.97 +tax. My TWC is now $103.00 with 1 less movie channel. Dish will give me HD Net, HD Net Movies, Sci-Fi HD, Smith.HD, along with several others that aren't HD on TWC... plus all the HD premiums coming soon... what a deal!
PS: Is it better to have a phone or internet connection to the VIP722? I have a wireless router not near my TV, and phone is not near either. I could run phone line through the attic
( or is ther an easy way to get an internet connection over there? Does the phone connection need to be the primary account phone? I have ATT DSL with Viatalk VOIP, the line I would like to connect to (unless it's easier to do an internet connection).

If you can connect to your router, I'd recommend doing that. There will be additional Broadband related features in the future.tcatdbs said:Thanks. I can live with 2 500's.

The Broadband connection replaces your phone connection, but if you do use the phone, it must be connected to the phone number linked to your DISH account. Also, no caller ID with Broadband.
For connection to your router, you can run a CAT5 cable, and connect to your router hardwired, or you can use a HomePlug type device. It is a small single unit you plug into an A/C outlet nearby your router, and connect a Ethernet cable between the device and your router. The ViP722 will then communicate wireless with the router.
