I am looking to get a direct tv install with an hd Directivo and two other receivers most likely regular tivos. For the HD tivo I want to be able to record one channel and watch another. For the other two boxes honestly I could care less and in one case it would be a hard wire run to run a second wire. So to me this means I need 4 wires off the dish which I think I can do right out of the box as long as I get the Phase III triple LNB antenna. My first quesiton is it a correct statement that I can run those 3 receivers with 1 line going to each of the regular 2 tivos and 2 lines going to the HDTV tivo with that dish without any switches?
My second question is if I wanted to go to a fourth receiver what switch would I need? I would assume a 4 x 8 switch or a 5x8 switch if I wanted to pass the locals?
