Hello,
I have a question about wiring and adding another receiver.
Currently I have 3 receivers and a superdish.
I have a 311, DVR 522 and an HD 811
When the installer came, I know he had to run a special cable for the dual tuner in the bedroom so it would have two feeds. He said something about if we ever added another TV we could run the second cable to the other outlet.
My concern is, we are finishing the basement and would like to add a 4th TV. I would prefer to have 4 receivers. My quetions are:
1. Can I (the installer) add a 4th receiver? I thought I read somewhere that you can only have 3 receivers. Not sure if this is true or not.
2. Since the 4th receiver will likely be an HD DVR receiver, can I have the electrican run to cable feeds to location I plan on putting the TV instead of having the installer do it? This way if I ever decide to go back to cable I can use the existing wiring?
When it comes down to cabling I am pretty much useless.
3. Must I upgrade my HD service to silver, gold, platinum etc if I get a new HD DVR? I would like to keep my package as is but am unsure if I add hardware that Dish will force me to change my current lineup.
Thanks for any input!!
