I would like to upgrade my HD equipment and programming, but I'm not sure what my options are as far as keeping the old stuff. I currently have three receivers: a 921, a 6000u, & a 301. On the roof I have a Dish 500 and Dish 300 (pointed at 61.5), each with Dishpro LNBs and connected to a DP34 switch. The 921 is located in the family room and is connected with two separate cables coming from the DP34. The 6000u and 301are in bedrooms on the opposite side of the house and have single lines coming from the DP34.
I know that under the current upgrade plan, I can replace the 921 with a 622 and the 6000 with a 211. What I was thinking about was moving the 921 to one of the bedrooms (rather than trading it in), putting the 211 in the second bedroom, and retiring the 301. However, I'm not sure if it is possible with my current setup, since I will be going from 4 tuners to 5. I've read that the 921 can be connected with a single cable and a separator, so having just a single line going to the bedroom shouldn't be a problem, but I don't know if the DP34 can handle it. Any advice or suggestions would be welcome.
