Dish Network & DirecTV together

[jkennySNA]

Good afternoon,

I have a potential new customer that wants both Dish Network and DirecTV in his new Condo. I've never had to set this up before. I've been told he has two coax home runs to a electrical closet on his floor. Can the Dish Network signal and the DirecTV signal run over the same coax? I'm assuming he wants to watch both systems on the same TV.

thank you for your help

each rec will need its own run from its own dish

But since you have 2 coax's, shouldn't be a problem, as long as the DirecTV dish is using a SWM LNB or switch. (only requires 1 coax for multiple tuners)
And since DISH can run 2 tuners on 1 coax, you should be all set.
