New member Username: DannymasocCA USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Nov-06 | King, I've recently had 18 inch dish for 91, 97 and a 500 dish for 110,119. I've just bought a Fortec Star 90cm dish with 3 LNB for 110, 118+119, 129-- to replace dish 500. How to connect for 4 receiver? Your suggestions will be very appreciated. |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3222 Registered: Oct-06 | Danny 6 sats to 4 receivers that's tough Firstly How do use an 18" dish for 91/97? Secondly - DP44 (4-sats to 4 receivers) maybe best affordable choice if yo have DP or DPP LNBF (about $70) from e-bay but it requires 1000mA which most FTA receivers don't support - DP34 is very similar to DP44 but for (3-sats to 4 receivers) - Either choice will still not get yo 6 sats to 4 receivers There are some real high tech switches but still best will be 3 sats Thirdly Suggested solution will be to cascade yor own switches but yo have to very good wiring installer, on a scale 1 to 10 (must be 10) Another possible solution is to use a DP34, one HF splitter, 2 or 3 22K Sw and must be good wiring installer on a scale 1 to 10 (must be at least 9) but fewer wirings |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3224 Registered: Oct-06 | Sadoun got one mistake It's a 3x4 switch not a 4x4 It will look something like this: But this is for 4 sats Combine 2 sats to one by 22k Sw to make it 8 sats just before D-switch I have'n sketched yet  Reference https://www.ecoustics.com/cgi-bin/bbs/show.pl?tpc=2&post=1496586#POST1496586 |

Gold Member Username: PlymouthQuebec city, Quebec Canada Post Number: 3291 Registered: Jan-08 | No King Like this but 3 4x4 multiswitch(select 2 LNB with 0-22Khz Tone) for 6 LNBs and use 3 port on 4ways Diseq Select Legacy in LNB menu  |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3227 Registered: Oct-06 | Yep I see what they meant 4x4 will slightly be less wiring http://sadoun.com/Sat/Products/Zinwell/Zinwell-SAM4402-3A-DirecTV-Approved-Multi switch.htm But I was gonna combine 2-sats with a 2 way 22k sw right before D-switch But still this is a nightmare to connect and make it work even by the best FTA expert Too much coax connections I don't know if worth it |

New member Username: DannymasocCA USA Post Number: 3 Registered: Nov-06 | King and Plymouth, Thanks a bunch. Today, my friend draw this for me But the problem is only 5 satellite were carried. He told me if want 1 more sat, just get 1 more 4x4. How do you guys think, is that possible  |

Gold Member Username: PlymouthQuebec city, Quebec Canada Post Number: 3307 Registered: Jan-08 | Danny Yes add 1 4x4 multiswitch and connect each output on port 3 on each Diseq  |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3237 Registered: Oct-06 | Yes that sketch should work However to get to wrok - Yo have to apply all coax coming from LNBs first - One by one yo try one DISEqC switch at a time - Connect one coax to each receiver and apply antenna setup also one at a time Use RG-6 quad shield with snap an seal connectors at least from LNB to switches to maintain highest DB signal without interference Coming out of switches to receivers can be RG-6 Double shield as it is less money I get 1000 feet for $50 Wires to switches must be Quad shield |
