A while ago I bought a new HD DVR receiver from Direct TV and the installer moved my old DVR (non HD) into my bedroom. What I didn't realize is that he didn't run a second line so that I could record one show and watch another on the bedroom receiver. Is this as easy as running a line from the 6x8 multi-switch (output) into the bedroom and plug it into SAT IN - 2?

I will add that It appears that there is a line running from output 7 on the multi-switch into that room and it's not hooked up to anything. I plugged it into SAT IN - 2 and still wasn't able to accomplish what I'm trying to. I was able to record a show but couldn't switch the channel without cancelling the recording. So I'm thinking I may be missing something here. Any help would be much appreciated.
 
Try using the second line, and reboot the receiver. Yes, it should work with an additional line from the switch.
