How many HDTV's in one household?

[huskerhead]

A co-worker has Dish Network and just added two more HDTV's for a total of four in his house. He was told by Dish that he cannot have more than three of the four HDTV's hooked up to an HD receiver. I went to their website and did the builder - and sure enough it only allows three HDTV's per household. Are there any work-arounds so he can have all four hooked up to HD receivers?

Not sure why that is, we have 4 HDTV's and 4 HD receivers, guess that is something new

He can buy extra 211 for $99 . if you go to radio shack or sears they have 211 that yoiu can buy. getting one from dish might show up as a $99 lease so your better off getting it local.

When placing the new order make sure to inform dish you will have 4 recivers as curent 1000.2 or 1000.4 dish will only suport 3 recivers and a 44 switch will be required.

Maybe that's why they don't want to give you 4 stb's because of the DPP44::

PLus if you're not watching all the TVs at the same time, you can feed other HDTVs with the TV1 output via HDMI or component.
