I guess you've never considered having ONE receiver (one receiver for
each channel you watch or record at the same time) and distributing
the output to all the TVs.

Yes, particularly an extra tuner you don't really need. Any tuner will
lower the quality of what you get.

It takes a long time for an EM signal to travel 50,000 miles., and it
has to go about that far to get to he satellite and back. For that
reason, any service requiring fast interaction (like action games)
won't work well with satellite.
