------------------
Hello,
        In our case we use dedicated dishnetwork receivers for each 
of the 9 channels we subscribe to. This is not necessary unless you 
want simultaneous access to all channels, which we do. Otherwise you 
could use  less receivers and tune them to the particular channel you 
wanted. MVK
