My brother is wanting to add another receiver to his system for a third room and is unsure on what type of coax to use. He has a dish 500 for 110/119 with a dpp twin,one cable run going to a 322 with a dpp seperator. Thanks

well thats about the same as 2.2 GHZ. Basically any RG-6 will work. I have seen some RG-6 that was only swept to 1000MHZ and it worked fine. It's just they test it for more now.
No manufacturer making quality UL listed cable will make any rg6 not capable of 2.2Ghz. They don't have a separate formula or process for making 1000Nhz cable.
Swept to 2.2Ghz only refers to the sweep test. A batch of cable is tested. That's all. If it is not marked as swept to 2.2Ghz, it has just not been tested.
It does not mean that it will not work at or is capable of 2.2Ghz transmission.
Except for some old cheap off brand or imported cable, I have not seen any currently made standard rg6 cable not work for DishPro or DishPro+ installations.
