the actual installation of the tivo is a piece of cake. it's just like setting up a new receiver. i believe you can use the multiswitch inside the house so you wouldn't need to get up on your roof.
you could be ghetto like me and decide you want every room wired for satellite and put 2 dishes on the house, one on each side. that way you don't have really long wires running all over the place.

I just ran the four RG6 lines from the dish (third LNB gets conbined with one of the other LNB outputs) into my distribution panel in one of the closets. From there I run to the TV's.
If I ever need more than 8 outputs I can get away with an additional multiswitch. I don't have to get a 5X16. I have to review the options but there was a way to add a 4X8 to my 5X8. blah blah blah.
