That is a good point, but let me throw this at ya.  I do not actually have a
dish at my residence.  I live in an apartment, and I use SBC Multimedia
which has a dish somewhere at the complex that feeds out DirecTV.

So I am not sure how to find out if the dish supports dual-LNB or not
(especially since I am not sure what that even means).
