Does each TV has a single RG6 coax that runs to the central location where the sat antenna lead comes in from outside? If so you might consider what I did. If not DirecTV has wireless capabiity now as well.
I have DirecTV with a slimline dish and a tripod from www.tv4rv.com, HR44 Genie DVR, HR24 DVR (a Genie mini would work also, I just had this DVR already).
This system works great and has worked for a long time. The dish is easy to set up using the tripod mentioned above.
All of this equipment is HD so are your rig TVs HD?
As for the wireless Genie that is questionable. Look up the installation requirements with reqards to equipment location especially with other WiFi in the rig and you might conclude as I did that installation in a RV is iffy due to minimum equipment separation distances.
Also be advised that high quality RG6 coax and compression fittings should be used for SWM and existing rig wiring may/may not be adequate. It has to support the bandwidth of 5 channels and 7 if you add a HR24 to the mix.
