OK I am a long time Dish user and have a 722 receiver in my house and want to add a 722 to my RV. I will want to take advantage of the dual tuner and have the ability to watch two different broadcasts at once. Bought a new HD dish on ebay and it has a 3 LNB's labeled 1, 2, 3, line in. I don't know much about this stuff other than the dish is for the western sky and the 110, 119, and 129 satalites. My question is what do i need to run just one coax wire to the 722 receiver in the RV and what connectors on the LNB do I connect to? Thanks in advance

The outside dish says Dish HD on it and is black and the LNB says DP plus on it if that helps

Good luck with the 722 in an RV, as it is NOT a rugged system and the road vibrations will kill it. We went through 2 of them before we went back to a 508 that is rugged enough to stand the road.

For a Dish Pro Plus dual tuner 722, I think you'll need a Dish Pro Plus dish (there should be a "dp PLUS" logo on the dish).
You can run a coax from either 1, 2, or 3 (not the line in) to a Dish Pro Plus Separator which splits the single incoming coax into two -- one for each tuner on your 722.

TechWriter,
I have the setup you have described and all works well. Do you agree with Bob in regard to traveling being hard on the 722?
Thanks

I have had the 625 I believe is the receiver we have used in the past but wanting to make the switch to HD so the 722 will be new to our RV soon. Call me picky but when we hit the road I unplug and lay the unit on our bed to absorb the bounces and it has worked well for me.
TechWriter...it is the dish pro plus LNB with the logo on the lnb. Thank you very much for the info. I have that same seperator on the back of my old 625 so I can just use it!!!!!

Tex. we've been traveling for two years fulltime with our 722, in a closed cabinet no less, running pretty much 24/7 with zero problems. You might have gotten a bad batch of 722's. Might want to give them another try.

Not to hijack the thread, but Alpenliter, were you able to get the distant network waiver with the 722? I am going out FT on June 1 and I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with getting the networks (ABC, NBC etc).
Thanks,
Brian

Yes, one coax to the 722 will do. As I recall, you can use any of the three connections on the left. The far right one is for connecting a secondary satellite antenna.
