Newbie getting HR20 installed-have questions!

[Volman]

I'm getting an HR20 installed next week and have a couple of questions.I currently have 2 HR10-250's and will replace ONE of these with the new HR10.I'll get a 5 lnb dish to replace my 3 lnb.So I'll have 2 HD-DVRs(one HR10,one HR20).
Will I need a Zinwell WB68(it's not on the work order-the csr said they will bring whatever is needed)?Should I call them back?
The work order includes a 5-lnb dish and the HR20,and installation.Anything I'm missing?Thanks in advance for any help! Fred

you only need one if you have more than 2 dvr's. the sat supports 4 lines only. anymore than that you will need a wb68

Thanks for the reply.I had read a post saying the dish could handle 4 lines out,but kept reading other posts,all mentioning a need for the WB68.That clears the multiswitch question up.

I'll piggyback on this one. I'm due to have an install next week for an HR20, an H20, and an SD receiver. Do I understand correctly that it won't require a multiswitch?

If you will not have any more then the three receiver's listed there then no. You will have 4 lines from the dish. Two to the HR20, one to the H20, and one to the SD receiver.
