Hi everyone, this is my first post to this site. I found your site via the AVS Forums.
Anyway, today I talked to DTV and they are going to upgrade my main HD Box to the new MPEG4 HD DVR. However, I have a number of other receivers in the house (Sony A55s and B55s, Sony HD200, Basic Hughes HD box) all feeding from a Phase 3 dish through a Terk BMS-58. I have a few ReplayTVs using the old Sony receivers.
My main question is, will I need to replace the older Sony receivers once I put the AT9 dish and WB68 Multiplexer online? I'm assuming the Terk is not compatible with the new dish. Do you think the installer will have the Multiplexe or should I just buy one myself before he even gets here? Can I swap the new WB68 in place of the Terk even before the new dish gets installed?
I have been using the search tools to get some info here but wanted to ask you about my exact situation also.
Thanks for any help.
Tom
