(ie...box1 and box2 can share LNB1 and view different channels if they're both on an odd-numbered channel) If you have 2 LNBs, and a smart LNB multiplexer, it'll work with any number of boxes. The multiplexer just fixes one to horizontal and the other to vertical, then routes the request from the boxes to the LNB with the correct filter.
I think...like I said, it's been a while.

Those are some of the issues I alluded to. We have 4 TV's we regularly watch and 3 others that are sometimes watched. We currently have HD and 3 DVR's. We may want to watch the 110 and the 119 sat. The house was wired for cable. There are 3 different designs for multiswitches and I don't know which is best for us. I wonder if the receivers would be better located in a central spot or at the TV. If in a central spot how do you communicate to them from the room you're watching TV in.
Those are the issues that a provider/installer might address.
