what is the best set up?

[mots-a]

going in for a new contract with dtv.

right now I'm am running 2 dish's on the roof, a hd ovel 5lnb with 3 lines running off it 2 going to a hr22 in my tv room and 1 line running to a hr22 in the bedroom.

the smaller dish is a very old hd dish that has 2 lines going to 2 dif rooms with standard receivers.

I have no multi switches just cables run streight to the receivers.

I'm looking for the best equipment and possibilitys to get hd to every room so all the tvs can get hd and be on different live channels, would also like to avoid having big receivers in the 2 dif rooms.

the bedroom doesn't need a duel line because I never record a show and watch another in there but could be optional in the future.

equipment, what's the best dish to get and receivers that will fit me?

just so I know what to ask for, also if they don't give me everything I am willing to pay for some stuff, I could install myself if needed.

If you want hd in all rooms they will have to replace the standard receivers, obviously. They will likely install a swm lnb which will allow you to use both tuners on the dvrs with only one cable to them. You may not pay for anything depending upon your payment history and how long you have been a customer. Call and ask, Directv is the only one that can tell you for sure.

Upgrade one of the DVR's to the Genie then the 2 standard boxes to clients. HDDVR in every room with the ability to record up to 7 things at once.

Not a bad idea at all!

Yes.
