Wow, how does this work? I'm quite sure it's possible, as people who use a lot of different programs don't likely have a dish for everyone, and they want it automatic. I think one person awhile back told me that the company who offers the show sends a receiver on a rental agreement, which means I'd have 10 receivers if I wanted 10 different shows, plus a dish attached to each one that's on a different satellite. I'm sure not too many do that, maybe one for news and one for the current other show.
