"Batter Up for Broadband" (October 1997) states that separate dishes are required for DirecPC and DirecTV, as well as that "Hughes will someday offer a method for using one dish for both, although no target date has been announced." Actually, that system is now available: DirecDuo was unveiled on July 15.
The article also mentions that DirecPC is offered by Hughes Communications. Both DirecPC and DirecDuo are products of Hughes Network Systems, a Hughes Electronics company. For more information, see http://www.direcduo.com/.
