Doing HD upgrade with no contract question
There is a friend of mine that I am helping to do a HD upgrade. He does not want the 2 year commitment, so I told him that he could buy a 211k receiver (he does not want a DVR) and that I could probably install a dish for him to get HD.
My questions are the following:
He has a D500 now pointing to 110 and 119, I think that I can add a wing dish to 129, will a SW21 work to hook those two dishes together?
He also has a 322 SD receiver that he wants to leave in his bedroom, will I need a different kind of multiswitch to run a lead to the 211k and the 322?
Thanks

I don't think you should need a different kind of multi switch. Should be able to run a line to it just the same as the 211k. May want to double check with an installer though. I'm better with the sales part than I am installation.

Back when I had Dish, i was more "up" on what went with what. But since I have had DirecTv for a while, I have forgotten a lot.

I am not sure of the LNB's I have a couple of DPP LNB's that go on a 500. What do I need for the DPP LNB's and a legacy for 129, will a DP-21 work or do I need a DP-34?

I think I would use a DPP33.
