David,

That would be correct *IF* you use that tiny little dish on the roof or 
some place.

When you have an 8 foot diameter pad mounted dish for satellite 
reception, then there is NO individual box for each TV.

I simply feed the signal into the house, and each TV simply picks what 
channel you want to watch.

Completely different system.  I also can direct the dish to different 
satellites.
