Question Dish 1000.4 and HD DVR ViP722 - Quick Question

First time setting up a duo, (self install) bit of a newb I guess ... have one HD tv and one SD tv. Setup DirectTV in the past without a hitch, and another Dish system (older model 5-6 years ago) without issues.

Of course, as known, port 1 - 77, port 2 - 72.7 and port 3 - 61.5.

My question is about running cable to the dvr. It has two sat inputs, #1 and #2. I presume so that each tv has it's own tuner.

Am I supposed to run one single cable and use the included seperator that came with the ViP722? Or should I run two cables directly from the LNB to the dvr? And which ports on the LNB to use??

May be a dumb question, but after digging around online, I haven't found a definite answer. I know the 1K.4 supports up too 3 duo receivers, correct?

Just wanted to confirm before cutting and making cables. Thanks in advance. The dish is up and installed, already preconfigured for SK, AZ and EL. Once I connect the LNB, then I can simply make some fine adjustments to get it tuned in. (keyword, simply LoL)
