CAN I SWAP MY VIP722K AND VIP612 MYSELF?

[missd1360]

Hello, I have a VIP722k dual receiver with tv1 on the receiver and tv2 in another room. I have a VIP612 solo receiver on another tv. I want tv2 attached to the tv on the solo receiver - basically swap the 2 receivers. I contacted Dish technical service and they said I needed a technician to do this (for $50). They said that I need to disconnect the 2 receivers and have them moved to the tv where I want them, so disconnecting the receivers must not be a huge deal. Is there any reason why I cannot reconnect them myself? Are there other adjustments the technician has to make?

Thanks In Advance For Any Help

If you can keep the wires straight, you should be able to change them yourself. Note that the tv channel for the second tv will need to be changed to either channel 3 or 4, output for 612 via coax not the same as the 722.

That is depending on if there are no diplexers in the system.. If there is then it is a bit more then that.. And you do need a tech out..
