199 and 118 are typically used on the same port of a switch, so it is like having four satellites.. :)

ok, i was under the impression that 118 is a lo circular lnb while 119 is a little higher freq.

I would go with 2 4x4's into disqce (or sw21) switches The 8 X4's can be fairly spendy

Thought a picture would help, however help me I can't find a picture for this fairly straight forward setup. Below are a couple pics to give you ideas:

There are basically 2 ways for this setup without going to a powered switch.
1. Place a 3x4 multiswitch on each dual output LNB, then use 4x1 DiSEqC switches to join each LNB.
2. Is use 2 4x4 multiswitches, then use either 4x1 DiSEqC switches or as pugsy suggested use SW21 switches to join the 2 4x4s to switch among the 5 sats.

Click on the FTA LNB-Switch Guide & Info link below. Download the pdf file. The peticular 4x4 shown in the guide is a Zinwell. :yes:

Edit: The Zinwell 4x4 does not need to be powered. If this is the way you go, we can help you with your settings later.
