Question on Cost for Additional Recievers

[textmex]

OK, I have one receiver (ViP 622) that is controlling two TVs right now (one HD and one SD). I want to get enough receivers for
another 4 TVS (1 HD and 3 SD) so I can get Time Warner Cable out of my life. So I'm thinking I probably need one ViP222 and one 322, right?

Next question. What is this going to cost me? Do I need to buy the receivers or can I lease them from Dish? What is the monthly fee associated with each new receiver?

Thanks!

You will have to buy at least 1 receiver. You can lease a maximum of 4 tuners from DISH your 622 is already 2 tuners so you have 2 left. You will also need a DPP44 switch if you are going with dual tuners. Call DISH and see what they will give you for options and pricing..

How many different programs will you watch at the same time?
If 1 or 2, then you are set. You can set the 722/622 to distribute RF to any number but you need a control for each of its 2 outputs. (The 5.x remote is IR only and must be in the same room.)
If there must be 3 or more then you need more tuners.
You can use the DPP separator on each of the Dish 1000's 2 output or Dish 1000.2 3outputs?
So you might not need the expensive DPP44 unless you need to receive more than 3 sats or have more than than 2 (or 3) separators plus single receivers.

If you have the 1000.2 dish you will not need a DPP44. It already has three outputs for dual tuner receivers.

What is a DPP separator?

If I buy a receiver, does Dish still charge me any monthly fee for that one?

DVR fee, yes. Lease fee, no.

I have 6 tvs connected. 625 and 322 - leased - feeding 4 tvs. Had to purchase 2 301s for the other 2 tvs. $5.00 access fee per month per 301. Dish 500 and DP44 switch.
