What I want is Dish network to both TV's and be able to watch 2 different programs at the same time. We want HDTV. I also want to have a DVR. We would also want local channels.
I am pretty sure the Pathway 2 is the dish that I will need.
While you could do with a Pathway X2 and two DISH 211 or Wally receivers (with a USB hard drive attached to each receiver), you may find this a less than acceptable DVR system. For example, the 211 and the Wally are single tuner receivers -- basically, you can record what you're watching. Plus, a Pathway X2 can only "see" one sat at a time. This means if you're watching a program on sat 110 on one of your receivers, and you try watching a program on sat 129 on the other receiver . . . It ain't gonna work.
For a full timer I'd recommend the DISH Hopper. For that, you'll need a rooftop Winegard Travler and/or a portable open-faced dish like a 1000.2.
For two TVs a Hopper and Joey can be networked wirelessly or through your RV's coax.
