You could probably handle that setup with a Genie DVR and some wireless Genie Mini Clients. 30-40ft is pushing the limits of the wireless signals, especially if the signal has to travel through too many walls. I'm guessing it's not feasible to run coax cables between each dwelling?

Alternatively, install a receiving dish on each building if you can get regular HDDVRs (i.e. HR24) for the additional spots. No difference in monthly cost, but more up front for the custom setup as standard install covers one building/one dish.
