If you get a new dish installed with the DTV mover's connection then they will install a 5-LNB dish by default. All new installs will consist of the new AT9 dish as DTV is trying to move as many customers as they can over to mpeg4 eventually.
The 5X8 multiswitch will work fine with the AT9 dish as long as you don't expect to receive anything from the 99 or 103 sats. If you don't have any mpeg4 receivers then you can simply configure your setup exactly the same as you currently have.
If and when you do decide to make the switch to mpeg4 you will have to get a new multiswitch and possibly upgrade your wiring to solid copper RG-6 if the installers don't use it when you move. Chances are they will use the copper cable for a new install for the AT9 dish but you should check to make sure.
