Jayctoy, If I might make a suggestion. Call DirecTV, I believe they will have some one come to you home and install a new oval dish with a 4 port LMB for, I believe, $50.00. You will be required to agree to a new one year contract. Then run new RG6 coax, one from each port of the 4 port LMB, to each receiver. In fact I would ask Directv If their sub contractor, who will install the new dish, can install the new cable and what would be the additional charge.
