    522 Question

    Can you record two things at once with a 522? I know it is two tuners, so that would allow recording one program and watching a different program at once, just not clear on being able to record two programs at once.

    Stupid question here from someone that is new to satellite tv... What is a Dish Pro Quad or Dual or whatever else is out there? I'm assuming its the number of coax cables that come out of your dish, but what would you need more than one coax? I think I have two cables coming out of mine into...

He said he can send a satellite finder with it so I can install it...
