DirecTV releases 2nd wave of HD Channels

man that new dish is huge.

I was told that we need a separate cable for each HD set. Does the new dish have separate outputs? How do you go about doing this. We have HD in the living room but regular in the bedroom but we are getting an HD set for the bedroom.

The dish is larger than the old round or oval dishes because it is now picking up 5 satellites over a larger expanse of sky.

You need to install a Zinwell WB68 or WB616 multiswitch. It takes the output from the dish as its input and then distributes the signal via individual cables throughout your house. You then need a BBC on each input to a HD receiver/DVR. The BBCs are free from D*.

With a call to D* you can probably negotiate all the equipment and installation for free...
