First, Welcome to the Site !
As for your friends recvr that you can have ?
If it's owned, fine, if not he needs to return it if he's turning it off, if he's keeping it on and letting you borrow it for the day, thats different, not technically right, but ...
As far as YOUR set up, IF your gonna use the h25, you'll need a Slimline SWM dish with the Power Inserter as well., the H25 will NOT work without the SWM set up.
Taking card out of one recvre and putting it in another, won't work, unless you want to watch the "Inserted Wrong Card" all day, cards are married to the recvr when they are activated.
Yes, provided your only using one recvr after you add the Power Inserter, I would suggest rebooting if it doesn't fire up correctly.
