2-211K receivers, 1 TV?

[Wingnut50]

I have a Winegard Trav'ler 1000 mounted on the roof of my RV. It is hooked to a VIP211K receiver with one cable. Could I hookup another 211K to the second cable and use them both with one TV?

I want to keep the 211K because it is the only receiver that works with my portable dish, a Tailgater. There are times that I can't use the roof-mounted antenna because of trees, etc.

I'm open to any suggestions..........

Sure, the trav'ler use a standard dish lnb so yes, you can hook a second 211k to it. and also there is no reason why you can not have 2 receivers hooked up to one tv, although I am not sure why you would want 2 receivers on one tv?

Hook one receiver up with hdmi, and the other with component, assuming that you have two coaxes from the lnb.

If the TV has PIP it would be useful.

Newer tvs have more than one HDMI inputs.

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that I wanted to be able to watch one program while recording another.

I ended up buying a 612DVR. It costs the same monthly as a 211k w/ a hard drive.

Thanks, all. :up
