connecting a DVR

[jgtoyota1]

Hello guys! I am new to this site, I need some help. I have Directv system with 2 LNB dish. Currently I have a DVR and 3 recievers hooked up from a multiswitch. I want to hook up the 2nd input to the DVR. Any suggestions? Will another multiswitch work, or do I need a 3 LNB dish? If a multiswitch will work, how would you wire it? I have the ability to run the second line to the DVR but how do I hook it to the dish and still have the other 3 reciever work? Any help would be appriciated.

you'll want to go with a newer multiswitch.

I suggest you replace the one you have with a 5x8 or a 6x8 multiswitch.

By doing this you ensure that you will have all your channels on all your devices, DVR or not.

you can then add your second cable run to your DVR easily.
