Thread: 722 to 211k input question

Is the final action (aside from authorizing the receiver) in swapping the receivers as simple as connecting one of the satellite inputs currently going into the 722 to the 211k input (and the other, now unused input cable would/could dangle)?

Yes. I suspect you likely have a separator that has a single cable to it and then two short cables from the separator to the two SAT inputs on the 722 receiver. If so, you don't need the separator. Just connect the single cable coming into the separator to the SAT input of the 211 and eliminate the separator altogether.

Thanks for the quick reply. That makes sense and is consistent with what I recall seeing before. I will confirm this evening.

On a related note... that is the 211k... my understanding is adding an EHD will provide DVR functionality similar to that in a 612 (essentially the difference is in the location of the disk drive- internal to the receiver vs. external and connected via USB)?
