Tivo & Direct TV

I have 2 series 2's - a Humax DRT800 with lifetime and a Toshiba RX20 that I
pay the $6.95 / mo for

However, I am fed up with Comcast and am considering Direct TV or ATT
satellite.

Will my Tivo's be usable in either scenario?

I will want whatever I get set up in 3 or 4 locations in the house. Will I
need more than one satellite dish on the outside of the house?

Thanks

Possibly (not much of a yes no answer eh?), but it depends on what units you
get from DTV... I had an older S2, and used it both with dish and DTV via
the IR blaster......
Look for the basic no frills units, they have some dual tuners (one uses IR,
but the second uses UHF to control the channels), and those won't
necessarily work, they also have some newer ones that are hidef only and
don't have a composite/component output (just an HDMI) won't make it

To answer your multi dish thing, again it depends.... Usually just one dish,
however, some of the newer setups have two dishes for multiple sats (or a
rectangle dish with 5 LNB's)
