I use our receiver at home and at our cabin. I have 2 inputs at our house but have not run the 2nd coax at the cabin. I understand both inputs are needed for both tuners but what issue(s), if any, will I experience if only 1 input is initially hooked up.
HR22: 1 vs 2 inputs

you will have to disable the second tuner, and you will have to watch what you are recording or watch a recorded show while recording another. you basically just loose half of the dvr
I had looked at the setup menu and didn't see a specific item to "disable" the second input. I assumed the system wound sense that only one input was present but didn't want to have it hiccup and freeze up. Obviously as soon as time permits I'll run the 2nd coax.
MENU/SETUP/SYSTEM SETUP/SATELLITE/REPEAT SATELLITE SETUP/(-)/TUNERS(select SINGLE or DUAL) then CONTINUE.
Not doing this will not cause hang-ups but doing this when only one Coax is connected will prevent the tuner from from being used when changing channels or recording. (If that were to happen, you'd get the "771-Searching for channel" and a missed recording, if applicable.)

I had gotten this far but decided not to repeat the setup until I was ready to hook up the single input.
thanks for the info
