So, the setup: I have a vip211 receiver installed in my bedroom. It was installed two weeks ago, and the installer put in a line amplifier in that room (said it was easier than putting it on my main room's 622--a real rat's nest of cables) as well as a new dp44 switch and 1000 dish.
I have a vip622 on order, due to be delivered today. I was intending to install it in a third room to replace my last remaining 'legacy' receiver, an 811. That is in my office for viewing while I'm working at home, but primarily serves a Slingbox, which is great, allowing me to access my programming through the house and on the road.
Question: If I install the 622 in the third room, then, at some future date, decide that I'd get more use out of it in the bedroom and wish to move it and the Slingbox (would only require either a WiFi extender or Sling's own networking solution), i.e. swapping w/ the 211, are there any gotcha's I should be aware of? The powered line in particular makes me scratch my head...will it complicate the wiring necessary for the 622? From what I understand, it shouldn't. I just need to put a seperator in for the two sat-lines, just like I would in the room w/ the 811. And the diplexer I'm using to sep the OTA antenna and the sat feed should likewise work in that room as well. Any input would be greatly appreciated...thanks!
