stupid question from a guy with cable: why is there a limit? can't you just throw up another dish once your first one can't hold a more LNBs?

They'll lease you up to 4 tuners (so, 4 receivers, or 2 two tuner DVRs). After that, you can add as many as you want, as long as you supply them and the switches.

Used one of these last weekend on an install and worked great. Kinda pricey, but allows 16 recievers

It's what the LNBs of the Dish connect to and tt distributes the signal to your receivers. Most of them only have 4 outputs, so they limit you to 4 tuners so that they don't have to supply more than one switch.
