Need Help DN Box/Fta working together?

[Bluethunders]

Ive finally got VS PRO up/running(Thanks Again!)-Im a Comcast HD cable subscriber-but Im going to switch to Dish Hd package(subscribe). My question is what is the best way to have both the subscribed Dish Net box & FTA receiver working on the same TV? How can I spilt the (1) lnb line in so both boxes will work at the same time(or 1 box on/other will have off signal)? OR What is the best way to tell the installer?(Im confused on how DN will install because of their dual tuner setup(example--4 rooms they give you two receivers)...Any help would be great.. Did I insult everybody? No responses...Im a paid member -give me any suggestions.....

Ok-Here is what DN installed Dish 1000.2 Tech Portal : (choose receiver model) : Equipment : DISH 1000 I got 1 hd-dvr VIP 722 DISH Network -- Dish HD (55hrs recording HD-350 hrs standard def-recording-newest model)---1 receiver model 622 HD/or standard receiver---Both are Dual tuner models and I opted for single mode on HD-DVR -So total 3 room system..................NOW onto my VS PRO-I hooked up SAT IN from one receiver and it works fine(BIG THANKS AGAIN)--Going back to my original post -How/What type of spilter swich can I use to have both SAT INs connected to both receivers at the same time? As it is now(when I tried a 2way spilter/combiner -only one box worked when the other was unpluged) Am I stuck reconnected everytime I want to switch boxes? Thanks in advance...Ps I have to admit for free install/3rooms the HD picture and receivers are 100% better than Comcast. timehttp://www.dishnetwork.com/content/our_products/dish_hd/receivers/index.shtml

you could use a Coax A/B switch,,its just like a spliter but with a push button,,,you wont have to unplug the cable,,,you could even get a wireless one saves you the time of pushing the button

Thanks-last question on this topic-Theres no way to have both units working at same time off 1 sat in-only a/b style switch setup?(So I can keep DN box dvr working while watching stb box ,example) Thanks again

You could run another cable line to the dish the LNB's,then connect that cable to your VS Fta ..you could have DN pluged into ANT A & VS pluged unto ANT B or a video input
