I just need a little clarification as to a couple of issues with 
satellite TV.

I am looking at getting a dish installed as well as a set-top box 
(simple huh!)

I understand that I can also access both the D1 and B3 satellites 
through the same dish (75-90cm).

I also have a MythTV box under construction (change in direction from a 
PVR150 to a SkyStar 2).

I understand  that I require a splitter to have both the set-top and 
MythTV connected to the dish.

My issue is: Do I require more than one LNB to allow me to access both 
the D1 and B3 satellites, and what cabling nightmare would this entail 
to have both the set-top and the MythTV box connected???

At the end of the day accessing B3 is not essential, but good for 
scoring brownie points with my Dutch Father-in-law
