I have a 522 that only has one sat. input feeding the rec'vr. and have it connected to only one Tv.
I have been using it that way since it was installed two months ago. I was supposed to have received a 510 but the installer brought the wrong box and I ended up getting a 522 instead. Being as the room was wired with a single feed from my previous Directv system, and that I did not plan on using the two room capability of the 522, the installer used the existing one cable feed from the dish and did not run a second.
Last night it lost the sat. signal(s) and I called Dish for tech. help.
The tech that I talked to told me that the 522 needed two sat. feeds to operate "properly". I told him that I preferred not to do that at the current time as I didn't want to get charged for an additional rec'vr that I don't have connected to a 2nd TV. He told me that I would not be charged any additional monthly cost if the second sat. feed was hooked up.
Is that true? I thought Dish would charge me $5/month more if connected with two sat. feeds as it would then be an additional receiver (?).
Isn't the phone line connection used for determining how many receivers are in use so that Dish can bill accordingly?
