JD-
My system is a Dish 500 and the receiver is a Model 4900. The remote is UHF, not line of site infrared. I use only one cable from the LNB regardless of which receiver I take out of the house. I don't know the model number on the other receiver, it is an older model. My guess is you should be able to get by with only cable. There was a thread a few days ago on this same subject and Worknomore has one of the newer dual tuner receivers and he tested the system and it will not work with only one cable. He disconnected and errors showed on the screen....search for "satellite dish" and you can see our discussion.
