Platinum Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 11663 Registered: Jan-06 | Dish pro (DP) switches are ONLY for Dish Pro LNB's....not all Dish 500's have Twin Dish Pro (DP) LNB's ....some have 2 dual Legacy LNB's...so what switches U use is determined by the LNB's.. A simple DP Quad LNB (buy for $79 at sadoun.com) on 1 Dish (no need for 2 dishes, disconnect one), receives BOTH the 110 and 119 (or 82-91 sats)...and runs DIRECT lines to 4 receivers....NO SWITCHES are used! Dish Network Dish Pro Quad LNBF: Use it to look at the 110 and 119 orbital locations, using a 20" (or "DISH 500") dish antenna. The DishPro Quad LNBF can directly connect to Four tuner inputs (either Four "single tuner receivers" like Dish311, or Two "two tuner receiver" like DishPVR 625). Circular type....or can use with FTA receivers...$79 http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Order/LNBFS/DISHNETWORK-LNBF.htm or U can buy (www.sadoun.com)for $99 the Dish 500 WITH the DP Quad LNB...makes MUCH more sense to spend $20 more and get the Dish 500 AND the DP Quad LNB already mounted and ready to put on the roof..then U will have 2 extra Dish 500's, presuming U already have them http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Order/Dishes/Dish-Network-Satellite-Dish.htm#Dish_Netw ork_DISH_500 Dish Network DISH 500 Antenna with LNBF Box Includes: 20" Satellite Dish 500 Universal mount that lets you put the dish on your roof or exterior wall of your house Available with Dish Pro Quad Lnbf (for 110, 119), ...get this one!..... or with Dish Pro Plus Twin LNBF (for 110, 119)....suggest NOT to get this Dish Pro Plus TWIN Only $99 |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 1347 Registered: Oct-06 | 110/119 Quad LNB can do with no additional switches 1 coax cable straight to each receiver  DP34 will work with 4 receiver with no additional power however will work with only one satellite  SW-64 SW64 Automatic Multi-Dish Switch - Three Dish Four Receiver Automatic Dish Switch - connect up to four receivers to two or three dual LNB dishes, or to one DISH 500 dish with two dual LNBs and an additional dual LNB dish. Uses include adding another dish to an existing DISH 500 system for reception of foreign or HDTV programming. BOX SW64 Switch. This switch will allow you to pick up 3 satellites. (119, 110, and 61.5 or 148)This switch will work with ANY model Dish Network receiver. Uses SW64 switch, Power Inserter, Power supply.

Silver Member Username: Pannu16Post Number: 428 Registered: May-06 | I have almost same setup!! I will get u exact name of switch. LK is right there. So u need as many switches as u have sattelites. So u need 2 of those switches which LK told ya and then 4 diseqc switches. If u have any more questions put them here. This is gonna be exciting for u. I have 4 sats on four receiver so it took me a whole weekend to run cables and stuff. It was fun though. If u in TO lemme know i will tell u a nice shop where u can go. Switch is cheaper like only 30$. |

New member Username: Pibl97Post Number: 2 Registered: May-07 | King, I got confused about DP34 switch. As far as I understood 3 birds can be connected to upto 4 boxes. You show a different switch MS-3401. Also what LNB should be used with that switch to connect 13V and 18V. Any info appreciated.  |
