i am sorry for all the questions, but this is a while new world for me.
Thanks in advance,
Brad

DPP or Dish Pro plus allows for frequency separation for dual tuner receivers. Using a separator you can separate high and low frequency and split them between 2 tuners. This way you can have one line coming from the lnb and split into 2 to serve 2 tuners (2 rooms). Now if you have
dish 500 with DPP you can have up to 4 rooms. To be able to add 2 more rooms you will need either a
dish 1000.2 or a dpp 44. dish 1000.2 hase 3 lnb 110,119 and 129 for
HD channels and it has 3 output for support of 6 rooms. the dpp 44 has 4 output for support of 8 rooms. To add addtional receivers you'll have to purchase them and install them. Dishnetwork provide up to 4-room system for free. Once you buy the receiver you'll have to call them to activate it.
If you're looking to get HD in the future, you might want to call dish and request Dish N' it up program. They would come and exchange your receivers and install dish 1000.2 for you.
You can also watch more than one room by splitting the signal of TV #2 of any receiver. You would be watching same channel though.
