Thanks MZ.
Why five LNBs? I would have expected two for each room (since there are two
tuners) for a total of four. Is the fifth for HD locals (and if so, wouldn't
I need one for each room, totaling six)?

You'd want one of the new 5LNB dishes that they're installing for HD
customers then. And I think you'll need a multi-switch to feed 4
cables (2 each to two rooms), but I'm not sure about that, the dish
may have enough native outputs.
