Does the Pansat 2800A replace the Pansat 2700A?

Also, is it possible to setup 1 dish with 2 receivers for 2 tvs to watch different programs at the same time?

I believe the 2800 is just the 2700 with Component outputs.

As for a receiver that receives all those sats, a 2800 would be fine. Remeber though the Bell, Dish and directv sats don't have much FTA.
I personally use a pansat 3500sd now. I have used a Fortec Merc II and a Coolsat 5K. All three worked great and control my motor just fine.

How do I hook up 2 tvs to watch different programs at the same time? What do I need to do this? Thanks.

LNB-->Receiver 1's Satellite In Port--->Receiver 2 via Satellite 1's IF Out Port.

For the best results, you would use a dual output LNBF (such as the Invacom QPH, which actually has four outs, two each for C and L). This way, you could watch different polarities with each receiver. If you want to watch channels that are all on the same polarity, you could use the loopthrough IF output on the first receiver to send the satellite signal to the second one.

If you use the Invacom QPH, I recommend a 4 x 4 DirecTV-style multiswitch. This would allow you to see both polarities on both circular and linear satellites with up to four receivers.
