two dual tuners plus asingle tuner. Dish will lease up to 4 tuners. the additional tuner ( in the form of a single tuner receiver) you must pay for. You must also pay for installation of the additional receiver.

I'd back feed 1 or 2 tuners then any tv can watch any of the boxes.. that's how my place is setup..

I have 6 tvs set up with 1 Vip722 feeding HDTV 1 and SDTV 1, then another Vip722k feeding HDTV 2 and SDTV 2, then 2 301s at the other 2 SDTV's fed from a Dish 1000 plus and a DPP44 switch.

Correct. One tuner for each tv. That is what I noted.

Say again? If there are two dual tuners in the house tuner 2 on each is backfed or hardwired to tv 2 . That's 4 tuners for 4 tv's. The fifth tv needs a solo reciver to view a seperate channel.

I think he means backfeed and split the signal. In my old house, I backfeed to the basement and split to a TV in the basement and one on the first floor. An extra remote and you're all set.

The OP didn't state if he wanted to watch each TV seperately and independent of each other. Maybe he just needs to split and get by with one receiver? Hmmm? Just a thought. You guys jumped right to a boatload of money for gear, we all can't get ahold of the DP44 for less than $150.
