What would be the monthly service cost for 4 outlets with basic Satellite service, i.e. no HBO or other premium channels?

Thanks for your input.
As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted by a power failure (VERY uncommon in TV), in 07's scenario above, what do you need to watch different channels on the various sets simultaneously? I find that there are really few shows that interest me, but invariably two or more are on at the same time (e.g., Friday has Monk and Psyche, the SciFi lineup, and the CBS cop shows, plus often a Law & Order on NBC. I trap them now so I'll have something to watch during the parade of inane reality shows. I've avoided digital cable since each set would require a box. What's the situation on dish and direct?
