    Adding a 4th receiver

    Regarding the E arc dish adding another receiver, yes a dp44 is the only way to do that but if you have line of sight for 129 & 119 110 then get 1000+ dish that requires a dp 44 switch because it also has 118.7 for internatiional if your want any international channels.

    Adding a 4th receiver

    If you are keeping your superdish for 110 and 119 and a wind dish for 129 thats fine because for it to work now it would have to be all dp equipment anyway. Since you have a dp 34 with 2 lines to the 622 the same setup willl be fine for the 922 w/o separators. Since you have one line to the 311...

    Need to replace a 522 reciever

    Avoid also any contract if possible but if you get a 722k then its worth the ota module use The Dish store its $35 I think Dish wants $50 because then you can modulate out to channel 3 or 4 & record the off air channels also.

    Need to replace a 522 reciever

    If you want to keep sd only then a 625 is the way to go it has 150 hrs vs 100 on the 522. You must specify that you want a 625 on the workorder. The basically have taken all the old 522 and made them into 512 with caps on the tv2 output. Keep that remote and when you get the new receiver the...
