You may need additional cables for Dishnetwork depending on the package you purchase. They use the same RG6 cable, but may require more of them.

yep, I am confused. my installer said that, the cable was bidirectional in that the signal from dish to receiver came in that wire and went back out to join up to the second receiver?

All satellite, cable, Ethernet, telephone, and even fiber optic, cables are natively "bi-directional" barring the use of any blocking devices on the line. RG6 is the industry standard for satellite installations, although higher end installations, such as the Dish Hopper receiver, may require premium RG6 that's been rated for 3kHz use, versus the more common 2kHz RG6.
