I have just ordered directvHD new service. I was reading another post on another site that said I would not be able to use my current diplexor setup to access OTA channels because of this new dish technology. I would have to have another line drop to get OTA. Is this info correct?
5LNB KaKu multi-sat dish

That is correct. The i.f. frequency (LNB output) for 103b overlaps the UHF TV band and there will be interference. The recommended way is to run a separate cable for OTA.
However, some people have had success locating the B-Band converter (normally attached to the receiver) nearer to the dish (it should not be exposed to the elements) and adding a diplexer after that for the OTA antenna connection.
Note: This question probably should have been asked in the main forum, since it is not related to the CE program.
