What are my options?

Archived from groups: alt.satellite.tv (More info?)

you don't have to have a phone line near every tv. That's only for their
high end receivers which I believe is the double tuner. I just ordered Dish
with 4 stand alone receivers with no phone hookups. The phone is mostly for
pay per view which you can order online also.
The double tuner, has two seperate hookups in the back so I believe it's
basically 2 receivers in one box. and the remote for the 2nd tv works off
your cable ready tv hookup.You can find out more on their website.
They have pdf files you can download that has diagrams of their
equipment(Dish).

You could go w/ the 522 or 322 receivers from Dish. Both of them are 2 -
tuner receivers. The 522 is a DVR. The TV near the receiver uses an IR
remote and the TV(s) away from the receivers use a UHF Pro remote.
Depending on how many TV's you watch at any particular time, you could just
get 2 of the receivers and have one of them feed multiple TV's. You could
then go on eBay to buy the additional UHF Pro remotes for about $ 28 a piece
for each additional TV.

This way, you would only pay for one additional receiver ($4.99/) and could
have 6 TV's hooked up and be able to watch 4 different shows at the same
time w/ 2 of them being DVR.

Hope this helps.

If surround sound is important the 522 is the choice. I almost made a
mistake when I switched from DirecTV. All of the Dish receivers do not have
optical Audio output.
