I currently have a vip211 receiver connected to a DPP Twin dish. This LNB also receives a 129 feed from a DP single LNB. So my dish 500 picks up all three, 110,119,129.

I want to setup another DPP 500 dish to pickup 82&91 for an FTA receiver. Can I use an ecoda 2x1 switch to connect Dish to port 1, Bev to port 2 and run the output cable to a Dreamlink T5 HD? And it will pickup all 5 satellites?

Thanks guys

you can use a 22khz switch to do exactly what you're looking for.

As long as the Ecoda 2x1 switch will handle the DP band stacking LNB's it will.(check it's spec's)

Dish uses a second higher frequency band for one polarity of transponders, if the switch can't go to 3 GHz, or it's not rated for Dish equipment it wont work correctly.
