I'm currently a longtime E* customer that's being tempted by Costco deals on new D* DVRs. I've been able to answer most of my own questions scanning boards like this, but haven't found explicit answers to the following:
-My current E* setup is two RG6s from the dish to my attic, where I've got two DPP44 multiswitches, which provides me eight outputs, all in use. I don't have eight receivers, but every room has a hot feed, so I can move the receivers around if we have guests, partys, etc. Can the D* AT9 dish utilize the same topology (of course needing the appropriate D* compatible switches) without running additional RG6s from the dish to the attic?
-We currently have two rooms with dual runs (for dual tuner dvrs). I really LOVE that E* has the DPP stacking tech where dual tuner DVRs can be fed with a single RG6 (with the appropriate switches and splitters), so the dual tuner DVRs can even work in single run rooms. Does the D* technology (especially with the new AT9 Ka/Ku LNBs) have the same capability, or is a dual run absolutely necessary for dual tuner DVRs?
