It looks like the best, would be the integrated DPPlus Triple LNB used with dish 1000.2.
It would give you 110,119 and 129 for HD, with the option to hook an additional satellite location with another dish, using a (single or dual) dishpro LNB.
It would be able to feed up to 3 single or dual tuner (using a $5 DPP Separator) receivers without any external switches.
I tried feeding output of D500 (dual lnb) pointing to 92w into my 1000.2 IN port, but it does not work. My SV 8000 or 360p went "no channel". Hooking D500 directly to the box worked. Do SV boxes lack power to power up 5 lnbs, or do I need some sort of switch?
