Adding a third receiver to Dish 1000.2

[mbarys]

Hi,

I currently have Dish 1000.2 with 2 dual VIP DVR's. I just finished my basement and am going to add a HD receiver down there. From what I read I can run a line directly from the third LNB from the dish to the receiver, but until then can I do the following:

Two lines come in and then have a two way splitter on each line that takes two lines to each DVR. Can I remove one of those lines from the splitter and feed it to my HD receiver only having one tuner active on a DVR?

Thanks!

No, it's a separator that supports a dual-tuner receiver, not a splitter.

You must run the line directly from the third output of the 1000.2 to your third receiver.

Both of your current two lines should be going to a separator for each dual tuner dvr.
You can put a splitter ahead of one of these separators and run the second output of the splitter to your basement, to the separator( for dual tuner ) or the input to the basement box.

Why would you ever need a muilti Switch if this was possible??

You "can" do this, but it would accomplish nothing except malfunction.

Yes I would say so.
E* would save a ton of Money by not installing DPP44 when needed. If they could just use a splitter

Well hell.
Pardon me for playing.
Got a constructive suggestion?
That doesn't involve me doing strange things.

all you do is run a third line from the 3rd ouput on your LNB to your 3rd receiver. you are making it too hard, when it is easy.
