Although I could be wrong, I would think that a special connection would only be required if it were part of a whole-home PVR setup (Joey, Hopper). If it's simply another receiver, I don't see the need for anything special.
Bell 9500 (and 7500) Receiver Discussions
Had a Bell Tech at the house today to replace my legacy SW44/SW44A switch combo with a DPP Quad. Pretty good service, I called in a problem yesterday (Sunday) and they were at my house the next morning and on a holiday! They waived the $75 service call fee too.
He mentioned there was a 9500 receiver showing up in their system. It wasn't available to anyone and he had little information other than "built in Wi-Fi". Just wondered if anyone had heard of a new receiver - I assume a PVR?

Bell 9500 (and 7500) Receiver Discussions
Does anyone know exactly how to wire one 9500 and one 7500 to a 203961 hybrid duo hub? Nowhere can I find where the 7500 goes. ADV CLENT or CLIENT/HVN ? The 7500 would connect to the CLIENT/HVN port. Here's a link to DISH installation notes for confirmation and diagrams...

This could be "media shrink". It was introduced on Rogers in 2014 and discussed recently in BellMTS, see link below:

The 9500 only has two tuners, so you can either record one programme and watch another live, or you can record two programmes and watch a recording.

The 7500 doesn't have a tuner, so you're stuck with what you've got unless perhaps you obtain additional receivers?

Bell 7500 Satellite receiver
Do you need a Bell 9500 satellite receiver to run a Bell 7500 receiver or can you just have the one Bell 7500 satellite receiver hooked to your dish. Seems they are not selling the 6400 units anymore ? Thanks

The 7500 has no tuners. I suggest you read through some of the recent posts in this thread. The 7500 communicates with the 9500 (which has two tuners) and the 7500 can view recordings or live, depending on what the 9500 is doing. I don't have Bell Sat.
