Actually, they are starting to utilize something called SWM (Single Wire Multiswitch) technology that allows them to stack multiple signals on a single cable. You run one wire to the SWM port on your HR20/21 and it can provide signal to both tuners. You wont need the second wire run anymore.

If your home is pre-wired for cable, the installer will tap into those existing lines. The new HD dishes are no longer 18 inches unfortunately.

If you need a 2-tuner DVR, they'll run an extra cable to those boxes.
