How to hook up 5 receivers to dish network?
Hello I have a 500 dish with a dual pro plus LNB (two
> outputs and one input) I have a dual tuner 625DVR receiver connected to
> two tv’s (living room and room) and a dual tuner 322 receiver connected to
another two tv’s (two other rooms).

I’d like to be able to watch programs from the 625DVR and sometimes switch
to watch programs with the FTA receiver. Can you please tell me what do I
need to add the FTA receiver to my existing hook up, Multiswitch, diplexer,
splitter? Thank you very much
PS. Although I’d like my son to use the 625DVR in his room independently
while I am watching something else in the living room with the FTA receiver.
I use an AVX 3 x 6 satelitte distrubtion panel on the outside of my home, bring in the dual lnb outputs, hook them into the distributor’s inputs, and then run my rooms to the distributor….although I have Directv, and had to purchase a compatible box from them…I’d advise you to do the same with dishnet…
Traditional cable splitters usually degrade the satelitte signal and can affect your signal, but if you get the proper box, you can split the signal without the degradation. (Which is why I suggest finding out what box your provideer suggests.)
