i'm in a bit of a jam...i currently have a regular dish with a 2x4 mutliswitch going to 2 directivos. my new tv has an internal DTC 100, so i'l like to upgrade to a triple lnb, sending the HD satellite stream to my new receiver and in addition still send 4 feeds into my 2 directivos. i've asked 5 places and got 5 different answers.
my current theory has that i can bypass the 4x4 on the Oval Dish, run the 4 wires from the dish (with sat c) into a 5x8, and send the 5 feeds into the house (4 for the directivos, one for HD). why wouldn't this work?
one other scenario a local place told me was that we could take the 101 feed and put it directly to my current 2x4 switch for the directivos, and feed the 110/119 output of the 4x4 in the dish directly to my HD receiver. I think taht would work too, but i'ld like to get all the satellites to my tivo's, too (isn't there some programming like NASA on the other ones?)
i have a headache!!
