upgrading to HD from Bell

[jim_tarnawsky@woodbri]

Hi everybody, newbie here.

I'm finishing my basement with drywalled ceilings and would like to pre-plan for HD. I currently have standard Bell ExpressVu, two cables in from single LNB.

What do I need for HD setup? I've contacted Bell and have been told different things from differnet customer service reps.

What size dish do I need? How many LNBs? How many cables from each coming into the house?

Also, I plan to pre-wire for 6 receivers in the house but I only plan to buy one HD TV. Can I split the incoming cables at different locations (to save cable) or should I get a 4x6 splitter (4in, 6 out) with amplifier? Where can I buy such a splitter?

I'm located in Burlington, ON.

Thanks. If this information is already posted, I apologize.

Jim
