Hooking up 2 receivers to one dish

[amyk]

Originally had a 322 receiver hooked up with a 2nd tv also running from that. Now we have a 722 receiver hooked up with a 2nd tv running from it. I would like to also connect the 322 receiver. When I look at the dish, it has one wire hooked to one of the lnb connections going into a splitter then wires coming out of sat and vhf/uhf. One of those wires goes to the 722 receiver and the other goes into the room that the 322 needs to be hooked up in. What do I need to do? There are 3 connections on the lnb. Do I need a multi switch? Please Help!

each receiver needs its own line dedicated to the LNB which I'm assuming is a DPP Twin with two ports out and 1 port in so you would connect each receiver to a In or left side port. Each cable from the dish would then go into a seperator then into the receiver for each tuner connection on the back leaving you to just run a cable from the TV2 output to the other room locations unless of course you use a diplexor setup and a triplexor and you can find those diagrams by searching these forums.

Thank you so much! I will try it tomorrow.

You may need to upgrade your dish if you bought the 722 for HD, dvrexpander is guessing you have it connected to a DISH500.
