Add SD receiver

[ryanjk66]

Hi

I'm new to this forum and need some help

I believe I have the HR20 receiver (HD DVR bought in July) with the 5 LNB slimline dish. I currently have only one HD TV hooked up and would like to add a SD TV. I know DirecTV will now charge me for another receiver because I am no longer a new customer so I'm looking into buying a used one. What do I need to do to hook up a standard receiver to my 5 LNB dish without permanently affecting my HR20.

Thanks

Ryan

Correction, I have the HR21 receiver (HD-DVR - HR21-100)

You will need to run an additional line from the dish to the new room. Try talking to customer service about the extra receiver. They might work a deal with you to run the extra line and supply the receiver. Doesn't hurt to try.
