I currently have the HR10-250, 2 SD DirecTV Tivos and another HD Receiver connected to a 3 LNB dish and an OTA antenna. I have been fairly happy with the setup, but my OTA stations are somtimes flaky. Since I am getting the NYC feed for NBC I am using that one exclusively.

I am moving in about a month, and I am wondering if I should go with the 5 LNB dish now. Has anyone had experience with D* movers packagers. Is it the standard install with 2 cable runs?

My current dish is installed at the side of the house. I understand that the new dish must be installed on top of the roof, on a pole, or to masonary? Is that correct? I am planning to get a new OTA antanna, a SS-2000 square shooter that could be installed right on the 3 LNB dish. Could it be installed on the 5 LNB dish, too?

There are only 2 HD locals available in our market. So OTA is a must. I am planning on moving all my equipment, including my 5x8 multiswitch. I believe the entire setup is going to work, even diplexing the OTA signal since I don't have a receiver capable of getting local OTA stations.

So - with a more difficult install and only have 2 locals HD available, should I go with the new 5 lnb dish or stick with the lighter 3 lnb dish?
