Has anyone been able to get DirecTV to supply them with a free 6x16 multiswitch yet?

I haven't checked prices lately, but I'd bet that two WB68s and 4 high freq splitters is less expensive than the WB616.

My setup uses all 6 inputs on my WB68 (including Flexports 1 & 2). Would I need to use 6 high freq splitters?

Yes, if you need those channels on all receivers. If not, just plan which receivers are connected to the multiswitches.

With the rollout of the MPEG4 sats, will you still need the 72.5 for your locals?

I do not know. How do I find out?

Central PA. I get the Johnstown-Altoona locals.

Not sure what DMA means.

Thanks for your help. I called D* for the 3rd time in two days tonight. They are going to send out a technician to my house next week to "install a new multiswitch" at no cost. After I heard "at no cost" I did not ask whether they were installing a second 6x8 or a 6x16 to fix my problem.
