Hey Bingo. Don't have a lot of time tonight to get into it, but I see 3 options for you:
- Using two SW44 switches. When I did up those instructions a couple of years ago there was an option of cascading SW44 switches together giving you a total of 6 outputs. It seemed more compicated than what I would be willing to do, so I didn't look into it much further as those instructions were designed to help the DIYer.
- Two dishes. Depending on the wife factor; this might be an option for you- or it may not. The terms of the Bell agreement talk about not having the receivers in different houses; there's nothing stopping you from using two dishes.
- The one I would recommend is using Dish Pro Plus hardware. It basically allows you to one require one line to each receiver; then a seperator from each line to the two inputs on the 9200 and 9242 receivers. I'm pretty sure there is a diagram on DHC, but for some reason I can't get to their site at the moment; but I'm pretty sure there's a diagram showing how to use the DPP hardware.
Of course, the other option is to activate the 9242 now using the connection for the 9200, let it run the updates, then hook it back up to where the single line runs in. It will only give you single tuner; but at least its an option to start playing with your Xmas toy.
Hope that is of some help.
