You can do 2 DVR's with a dome as long as you have the additional splitters (DP44 IIRC).
If you mean one of these guys (a DPP44 below), it's not needed.
Current rooftop domes (Winegard RoadTrip Mission, King Dome KD2000/3000, TracVision RV1 & A9) all support 2 (or more) receivers without external switches.
I have two cable inputs from my Winegard dome, but only currently using one with my DirecTV single receiver setup. When I switch to Dish with the two tuner DVR do I connect both input cables into the one DVR or is only one cable needed with the other cable used for another receiver?
PS: Just found out that my DirecTV incentives expired, so I'm more motivated to switch to Dish.
Your Winegard dome supports two single-tuner receivers -- the VIP211, not a dual-tuner receiver.
If you really want DVR capabilities with a dome, stick with DirecTV.
