I currently have a dual LNB dish supplying 4 receivers. I just purchased HDTV TV and a DSS receiver with an HDTV Dish. Should I eliminate the existing non HDTV dish and use the HDTV dish for all 5 receivers? or simply just install the HDTV dish next to my existing dish? I know the HDTV points to a different satellite, and I heard of possible degradation in the standard non-HDTV programs. .. Opinions, comments?? THANKS, JOE

We sell and install HD sat all the time. We do alot of plasma HD in Manhattan NY. At my house I replaced the single elipical dish with two reg 18" dishes and my single strentgh on both hd and non-hd improved drastically. Plus you can't cover the single dish. With 2 dishes, both covered I never lose single even in a blinding snow storm. Before light drizzle and I would lose HD. Steady rain I would lose both, now neither.

Hi Barry: So your saying that you can receive HD DSS without the eliptical Dish? How does the 2 regular 18" dishes connect to the mulit switch? I have a multi switch to connect 4 other receivers in addition to the new HDTV receiver.

You absolutely can receive hd dss with two 18" dishes. On the multi-switch it tells you sat A here and sat B here. It's easy and as I said if you use dish covers on the two you'll always be watching TV. Any other questions just email me directly.

Barry: Can you explain a little more about the "dish covers" you mentioned? I'm planning on switching from cable to DirecTV this year and I've never heard of these. Thanks!
