    1 you can put a splitter on your receiver and split the signal between 4 tv's but they would have to view the same channel on all the tv's

    2 I do not know of any receiver that automatically updates the codes.

    4 There are lots of alternatives to coolsat.

    5 Depends on what satellites your dish can receive. A motorised dish can receive lots of channels.

    you should google for satellite forums there are plenty on the net with lots of information and help for newbies.
