Your STB has a single tuner in it so it can only send a single signal.
If you want to use a second input (not "tuner") on your PVR-500 card,
you will need a second STB to send the second signal.
You cannot use the coax connection on the PVR-500 card with Dish because
standard analog tuners cannot tune satellite signals - they require the
STB to decode the signal. If you had analog cable, you could plug it
directly into the PVR-500's coax connector (the tuner) and it could tune
two different signals (there's a splitter in the PVR-500 on the RF
connector to allow this). Maybe that's where you're getting confused.
