Thanks. What if the receiver has two tuners? I'm thinking of the Dish
322 (picture of rear at
http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Products/Dishnetwork/Receivers/DISH_322_back.jpg
), wondering if it could provide input to two PVR-250s simultaneously.
What's not clear to me is whether you need to have two dishes attached
before you can use the two tuners. Also, it appears to only have one
S-video out...
