I know the Dishproplus is the one to use with a VIP222K for a 2 room dual
tuner setup. But if i take this unit to a one room hunting shack, is a dish
500 dish with one 110 lnb and one 119 lnb input into the single tuner on
the 222K just fine for one TV. This should work just fine, yes ???

Sure, if you don't want most of your HD channels. To get everything you subscribe to you need a Dish 1000.2.
 
Will work fine, but if those LNBFs are separate units, you'll need SW21 switch.

If you are using legacy, you would need two sw21 swithces and two lines run from the Dish to the receiver. DishProPlus is the only type of lnb which will feed both tuners on a 222 with one line. Also note: with a Dish 500 you will not get most of your HD channels and a check switch test will need to be run each time you move your reciever.

I think two legacy single LNBs, one for 110 and one for 119 on a Dish 500
dish with one sw21 into one of the dual tuner inputs of my VIP222K and output to an old TV after a check switch will work just fine without HD
in my old hunting shack. I did this with Direct TV in this old hunting shack
for years.
