Pathway X2 + Dish with 2 Receivers
I have a Pathway X2 that I have been using for 2-3 years now with no issues. I use it with one receiver, and connect it to an outside TV for sports and races. If we ever wanted to watch TV inside...

99.9% success!!!!
I did as advised, and disconnected the whole setup.
Connected my primary receiver and secondary receiver to the satellite, but only powered on the primary.
I went through the entire setup, acquired a signal,using the 110, 119, and 129 satellites, downloaded the guide, etc.
When that all went smooth as silk, I then powered on the secondary receiver. It started acquiring a signal and then the guide.
Both TV's working perfect, clear HD channels, and local programming on both TV's.
This setup works perfect for us.
When I tried to view some of the higher channels on the secondary TV that required looking for another satellite, it just went to a blank screen. I was expecting that, so no surprise there.
We watch very little TV, but when we do we would like to see the same program on the outside and inside TV at the same time. This setup works perfect.
Now that I know everything works, I need to hook it up to my trailer and see if the satellite wiring in the trailer works.
Thank you to both Bill and Ford Truck Guy for your expert advise.
Imagine that last night I spent 3-4 hours with tech support, only to be told my receiver was bad and needed to be sent back.....
