I'm finally starting to look around at getting a satellite dish and would appreciate some help with a couple of questions.

First one concerns what I need to do to be able to watch different channels on two TV's, only one of which is connected to the dish. I believe there is a way to do this, but have no idea what equipment is involved and how much it costs.

Second question. I was under the impression that satellite providers were not allowed to broadcast local channels, except under some very specific exceptions. Some of the providers I'm talking to say that they can now provide local channels. Is that true? If so, are they likely to provide all local channels or do they pick and chose which ones they want to provide.

Final question relates to any Pronto users out there. Any advice as to which dish set up works best with the Pronto, considering things like discrete codes?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
