Need a little more information. Which 4 sats are you wishing to point at and of those which are the "sub" sats? What type of LNBs do you have? Are they Legacy,dishpro, or dishpro plus? Is there a motor involved with your setup or do you have a stationary dish or dishes? What switches do have now? Is the sub a HD-PVR or just a simple SD receiver? More info is better. :yes:

sat are 91--82---110---118....standard lnb for 110 and 91--82 and liner for 118 i think, no moter involve dishes are 32 " for all sats..i got sw21--4 switch and one dp44 also...some regular disqc switches and two diplexer also, regular sub for b3v and nf for fta

Since Bev is the sub you only need to send 91 (and 82 if you wish) to the Sub receiver and an SW-21 will do the trick. If you have an FTA receiver which has both DN and Bev available then a Diseqc switch will work for sending all 4 sats to your FTA receiver. Then you can add in and A/B switch to toggle between Sub and FTA going to your TV.

thing is in my bedroom only one cable go, can i connect two output with diplexer and separate them back of tv near stb and feed them separately

A diplexer will not feed 2 receivers when one is a FTA receiver, nor will a splitter.

It is best to use a 4 X 4 switch and run separate coaxes to each receiver, sorry no way around it.

Or you can use the RF outputs on both receivers if the BEV receiver can output the signal at a higher TV channel frequency then the FTA receiver, (some can do this) you could put the FTA receiver on channel 3 (or 4) and the BEV receiver on a UHF channel (say 44) then just change the channels on the TV to watch what ever receiver you want to, the two signals can be combined at the receivers using a channel combiner.

If the BEV receiver can’t do this then a dual input RF modulator can, and it’s not that expensive, you use the video outputs and run them to the modulators inputs, it then transmits the video on two different TV channels.

For 118/119 you require a special low frequency circular polarity LNB. Linear LNBs will NOT work. As Terryl stated, you need to run seperate feeds to each receiver(the sub and the FTA receiver). For more info on setting up a FTA-Sub system, check out the link in my sig below.

For your setup you need to only place a SW21 switch on the 91 & 82 LNBs to output to the Sub box. Then use a 4x1 DiSEqC switch for 91,82, & 119/118 to output to your FTA receiver.
