One correction - the new DirecTV dishes no longer support diplexing an OTA signal onto the satellite feed. The new satellites interfere with those frequencies. The new multi-switches no longer have an OTA input. Not sure about Dish.

I have heard there is a new product that will work with the new dishes but I don't think it's GA yet and when it is available it may be pricey.
