Then run your a/v into a a/b type box (be sure to get a hi freq) so you can switch back and forth between the two. I would definitely have a knowledgable DTV tech on hand while doing all this as they know far more about their switches and receivers.
I have a complete system totally compatable for DTV or DN just waiting for the day they might release CAMs and programming but at this time neither will authorize any receiver that is not one of theirs. |
Your including DTV into that last sentence caught my attention. I didn't think any of the hardware you have listed would lock a DTV signal even if a CAM was supplied?
But your statement above about having a DTV tech on hand because the switches are complicted is true, and makes it seem to me that the one dish solution is much more complicated than it is worth. Ie I'd stick by your previous advise to keep the DTV or Dishnet systems separate, and go to a 2 dish solution. Much simpler.
I'm still baffled by the 3 coolsat receivers though.
