For D* you will need 2 distinct lines to the DVR.

Not necessarily. You can absolutely do that with DirecTV. It's called "stacking and destacking". It's expensive, though. stacker/destacker combos can run about $300. However, the new receivers are supposedly going to be able to destack signals internally, so you can do exactly what you are talking about. Stack it from the dish, and then just use a splitter into the receiver.

In short, there's absolutely nothing about what Dish is doing that you can't do with DTV.
