i'm picking up my R10 in the morning from Best Buy and have a question about hooking up the second cable. i have the Phase III Oval dish w/3 lnb's. when the tech installed the system last year, he ran 4 cables from the dish in case i decided to add a DVR later. i know i have to hook up 2 cables to the dvr but does it make any difference which cables i use. 3 of the cables are currently feeding 3 d10 receivers and one is extra. one of the d10's will be repaced with the R10.

hope the ? makes sense
 
Any two cables can feed the R10. Also, you can use the R10 with only one cable, but will lose the ability to watch one channel and record another. Something to keep in mind if you add another R10 down the road. Otherwise, you would need a downstream multiswitch to add more cable capacity.
