I have : HD-DVR - HR22-100 and HD-DVR - HR20-700

Unfortunately, what I don't have is 2 lines coming in from the dish. My house is a little old and was built strictly for cable and doesn't have 2 cable lines coming in at the cable outlets.

Without paying someone to come in and drop a new line in , is there a way for me to record a show and watch something different ? Multiswitch ? Some type of splitter ? Some way to split the line ? Or am I just straight S.O.L. ?

The cost of trying to put another line in from the dish isn't worth it to me. Wondering if theres a quick fix for this. Tough for people to take advantage of dual tuners when most houses are only built with one line coming in at the outlet.
 
Depending on the dish that you have it may be cheaper to just get a new LNB that supports SWiM. If you don't need more than 8 tuners that would also accomplish what you need.
