Thinking of upgrading to HD. If I want to continue to use my existing D* Tivo (SD), do I need to have a multi-switch w/ legacy outputs as my satellite inputs to the Tivo box?

Or can I plug in the HD satellite coax outs directly into the Tivo Sat-in's?

(I will only have one HR21 box with the new setup, so I'll have two extra coax lines from the satellite that aren't being used. This is what I'd like to connect to the Tivo, but don't know if they can direct connect or not given it's an HD/5LNB dish.)

Nope... no multiswitch necessary.

The TiVo can talk directly to the 5LNB
