I have a Nano2 that is set up and works great with 110 and 119. I want to add another dish and get the Bev channels. I have the dish and the cable ran. I have an A,B switch. Can I use this switch on the my receiver? Put 110 and 119 on A and Bev on the B channel? And just switch back and forth when I want to watch a different Sat.? I have my 119 110 sat. hooked to my sub receivers.

you would be way better off hooking it into your present set-up if possible
Post your comple set-up ,switches etc

I have a sub to dish. Factory installation for 2 rooms. 1 room has the dish box. The 2nd room has my nano2. I have the nano running and works very well the way it is. I want to add Bev. I have already installed a new dish for the Bev sats. The sub has a dp plus twin LNB and so does the new installation. I have a factory switch on the sub sat. And have the switch that Nano2 comes with on the other dish. I am very new to this... And don't want to mess up my installation for the sub. So I would prefer to leave it alone if at all possible.

What is this "factory switch" you have for the subs, a DP-34 or DP-44?

Not even sure if it is a switch. Here is a picture of it.

Are there any channels up on 119 or 110? I was messing with trying to get the Bev dish working. Now I have put it all back I have nothing on the original 119 110. Are any channels up?

Ok, that is a Holland STVC Diplexer, you must have a dual-tunner sub. You should not use the diseqc switch that came with the Nano as it could cause issues, what you need is either a 22KHz or DN-Brand SW-21 switch. Keep in mind that DP-Plus LNB's are power hogs, so keep your sub turned on all the time to help power the system. See diagram below........
