cabling for 722 versus 211

  • Server Issues.

    We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. As of 12:05 PM ET our provider has moved us to a new server.

    Things seem to be running better on this new server. However in trying to diagnose the issue (before finding out it was a hardware issue) we made some system changes which we need to undo. So if you find any issues or errors please let us know in the Operations Center Forum.

    Thank you for your patience! Sorry for the issue!

If I want to upgrade a 211 to a 722 would there be any additional cabling required beyond just adding a simple splitter if I were just replacing the old box with a new one on a single tv?
 
If you have a Dish 1000.2 then all you need is the separator that comes with the 722.

If the dish setup is different, then it really depends on what you have
 
Yes on 1000.2 ...

So they should be able to just ship the replacement without an installer and the separator would just split the signal at the box. No need to run a second cable from the box?

Our system probably won't let us ship out the a 722 replacement since it assumes there will need to be a second TV hooked up
 
Okay. I guess I will need to have the installer come out. The objective is to get a 722 so if 2 TV's are required to order I can do that.

I have the 211 connected to an external hard drive. Will I lose the programing on the drive or will the 722 retain it?
