Can I hook up my 722 to my 211's cable?

We're getting our ling room's floor refinished next month (insurance settlement). So I will have to move my 722. Can I hook up the 722 to the cable that normally goes to my 211 so I can dvr?

Don't see why not. Just disconnect the 211 and connect the 722.

Just don't try using a splitter to run both boxes.

Yes, but your tv 2 will probably be offline if the 722s 2 tv locations are connected via a diplexer system. If you are not familiar with using diplexers or don't have access to any, you can do a direct backfeed from the home distribution port on the back of the receiver to the tv 2. Meaning, run a cable directly from the receiver to the tv2 if aesthetically feasible. Or turn your receiver into single mode from the mode button inside the front right panel and utilize the PIP functions on one tv.

This only for about 3 days while the floor is being done. The 211 will be disconnect from the cable in.

You can do this and it will work fine as long as you make sure you hook up the 211 sat line into the separator or triplexer on the 722
