LOL Thats funny. You get a Dish 1000, which has three lnbs.
One cable runs from the dish to the reciever, where it is split
into two cables, one for each satellite input. Then you connect your OTA
antenna, and do a channel scan.
All switching is totally, completely automatic, in any combination. So
all
your channels, both OTA digital and from satellite appear seamlessly in
the
program guide. To get program info for your local OTA channels, you have
to
subscribe to
the locals package from DN. If you have low power analog
stations, they should be included in the locals package from DN.

So if they have satellites up there, but you arent in their footprint, you
want a tuner for those satellites anyway?
You lost me on that one.
