hold on...I'm confused.

don't these statements contradict each other?

"There is a catch though as you have to surrender your old box if you go through DirecTVs upgrade service, so I would deal with rebates that Best Buy and Circuit City is offering; you can keep your old box."

"Can the new dish work with the older boxes?
No. The one LMB that picks up multiple satellites send the signal in a format the the older boxes can not pick up. Do not upgrade to this dish unless you plan on getting the H20."

Why keep the older box if it doesn't work with the new dish?
