The built in multiswitch on a 3 LNB dish is a 5x4. There are 2 dual LNBs and
a special single.

You can attach your present 2 cables to the Sat A inputs of a 5x8
multiswitch and all 8 outputs will deliver the same programming as your old
round dish. You can add the other 2 cables to access Sats B and C whenever
you want.
