New HR 21 DVR issue/question

I have a Slimline 5 LNB dish with 3 TV's in my house. Our flat screen has an HR 20 receiver connected. The other TV's use an older set ob Direct TV receivers for regular signals.

I just received an HR 21 DVR unit to replace one of my other regular reeivers. I am guessing that I need two cables running from the Satellite into this receiver thereby eliminating the third TV from getting any signal.

Am I correct? Also, I heard that the HR 21 will require cables to be configured properly into the Satellite 1 and Satellite 2 connectors. How do I know which cables goes into these connections? I tried and am getting message "Searching for signal on Satellite 2 (771)

Help!!
