Cascading SV 360 Premium

[rmptxb]

I am wondering if somebody can guide me if i can cascade one SV 360 receiver with another receiver to watch TV in a different room without doing any changes in the cabling at Dish outside my house. If noticed there is an IF out connection on SV 360 receiver and i believe i can use that connection for this purpose. Can somebody please help me and tell me if this is possible without making any changes in dish cabling??

Yes, the IF output is to connect another receiver. no need to change up your cabling...simply connect the output of receiver #1 to the input of receiver #2.

also doing it that way(only way) you will be limited to watching one at atime so one will have to turned off one while watching another be cause both box'es will interfer with each other and make both not work together properly. you have to figuer one line one box. or you can run a dish pro plus lnb with a separator and run one line to each tuner then you will have both working at the same time.

good point.
i know you don't wanna mess with cabling at the dish, but you'll need to if you wanna use two independent receivers. if you're using the DP twin LNB, connect a new cable from port 2 to receiver #2.
depends on your situation which is easier for you

Follow-up question/clarification: could you not config the downstream receiver as a "dummy" receiver (e.g. turnoff DISEQU control, etc), so to be able to view different stations on the satellite to which the dish was pointed to by the "primary" receiver?

I don't think that will work because the LNB doesn't produce enough power to "split" the signal to two receivers.
you could try a dp44 switch, tho. that should work.

thanks everybody..one more question..so i am willing to change cabling at dish but can someone help me how do i cables things up. I have two dish 500s. First dish 500 has standard circular LNB and this dish is located toward 61.5 to receive south asian channels. Second dish has dish pro plus twin LNBF to receive channels from 110 and 119. How i hook these two dishes up to run all three satellites on two different receivers..I will really appreciate your help
