new mpeg4 dishes

[jkh1978]

Will the new dishes support more than 4 connections? I have 4 tvs. The tivo receiver only has one connection. The installer said I hit the limit of 4, and I was new and naive at that time (3 months ago). I heard the new dish will support 5 without a multiplexer. Will Directv come replace my dish for free, and install a new cable in the walls for that second tivo connection?

You will need a multiswitch if you need more than 4 connections. The multiswitch is included with any dish or receiver upgrade thru D*. The 18x20 oval dish w/ 3LNBs has 4 outputs, as well as the new MPEG4 dish. The installer may run a 2nd line, but that would need to be negotiated with the installer.
