I want to install both of these to the same TV. Is it possible? How do I go about it?

Thanks for any help!

It's quite easy. You will need three runs of coax from your dish to the receivers. One to the HD receiver and two to the PVR receiver. Assuming you have an HD television, connect the HD receiver to the TV using component or RGB connections (not sure since you didn't specify models). Connect the PVR to the TV using S-video. Using a remote, select the TV input to watch a source. If you are using receiver's from the same manufacturer, there may be remote control conflicts, but they can be worked out.
