Help me with switch question please.

[john4848]

I have 3 dishes on my roof pointed at: first dish 1 lnb 129, 2nd dish 2 lnbs 119/118 110, 3rd dish 91 82 2 lnbs. I believe all Lnbs are legacy except for 118 and maybe 129, not sure.

Can I use an SW44 videopath Switch (model DP34 107107)with this setup? Do I need to run the cable through the power inserter? What is the best way to put it together?

Thanks for your ideas and suggestions in advance.

Just use a emp centuri 8 x 1 diseq switch. Thats what i have and allows you up to 8 lnbs.

I believe the DP34 are for dishpro lnbs. If you have a single receiver then Gonz97's solution is the best way to go. If you decide to get more than one receiver, then you have a lot of work ahead of you and you will need a multi-switch.

One thing is that all the LNB's need to be the same DP (Dish Pro) type or your going to have switching problems, DP and Dish legacy LNB's sometimes do not like to play nice with each other.
