Well that (the small dish) depends if you want to watch different 
stations.  You can hook up as many tv's as
you want but they all will be watching the same channel.

I have a dual receiver in one box so each has a couple of tv's on each 
receiver. Since there is
only my wife and I it is not often an issue.

As Bob said with the 8' dish he can select what satellite he wants to 
watch. However if someone else want's
to watch something on another satellite he would have an issue also.

We got rid of the 8' dish probably 8 years ago as most of the 
programming we wanted to watch had
moved to the small dishes.
