612 receivers with 722

[cheezehead]

I was wondering this question concerning what equipment would be needed. I would like to get a 722 and 2 612's. What else would be needed above and beyond the dish 1000 as far as switches. can you hook up these 3 receivers without the need for other equipment. I believe three receivers each need two sat inputs.



Just wondering?

If you have a 1000.2 dish, the LNB will have three outputs that can be used for up to three dual tuners without any additional equipment. If you;re in an area that uses the 61.5 for HD programming, you'll need a DPP44 switch, which can feed up to 4 dual tuner receivers with no problems. You can run just one satellite feed to each of those receivers and Separate them at the receiver, but you MUST use Dish Pro Plus LNB's/switches.

So is the 612 considered a dual tuner or a single tuner in regards to ordering new service. Can a customer get a 722 and two 612's for example when ordering new service with the specials where you see 4 tuners installed for free.

You can get the 722 and two 612's, but the 612's will run you $99 each. The 612 is a dual tuner, but for only 1 TV.

What is the advantage of 612 over 722? Is there a monthly price difference or is the only difference the upfront costs? Just don't understand the logic? I have 622 already hooked up to 2 HDTVs and am getting a 3rd TV and was thinking 722 unless I am missing something about the 612.

The 44 switch wouldn't be needed for three twin tuners. The 4th port on the 1000.2 will handle a wing dish - cheaper than a dpp44.
