Question about 2 seperate Sat services

[tduffney]

Can you have 2 different sat recievers hooked up to one TV at the same time (one DTV and one BEV)? I want to hook 2 up but haven't tried it yet, just wondered if its even possible? I want to be able to say turn one reciever off, and the other on, and vive versa. Is this possible? Thanks in advance for any advice/sites/tips about this.

2 separate boxes to one tv? heck yeah

Depending on how many inputs your TV has...I have 7 inputs
-antenna
-Starchoice box
-free to air box
-Hard Drive/DVD Recorder 1
-Hard Drive/DVD recorder 2
-HD FTA box
-2nd HD FTA box

now if you mean both Dish & Bell on one box? then no. need separate boxes

Hey Iceberg - I'll tell you exactly what I'm trying to do, then you can tell me if its possible:

I think my TV has 4 inputs (aux 1, input 1,2,3 - is this the number of inputs?)

I currently have a DTV DVR reciever hooked to my TV. I want to add a BEV reciever to the same TV. I thought maybe I could hook it up like I would another device up - IE dvd player, stereo etc.. Can I do this? If you need more info let me know and I'll get it for you. Thanks for your help!

yeah it should work fine. Like I say I have each of my items above on separate inputs on the TV
