The 22 KHz switch is just an A/B switch, 22 KHz on = port A, 22 KHz off = port B, or the other way around.

The top 3x4 is an old legacy LNB switch with a TV antenna input, LNB +13v and LNB + 18v outputs to 1 LNB, then the terrestrial input for the TV antenna, this switch does not use diseqc commands but the +13/+18 volt polarity switch from the receiver.

The 5x4 is for a standard Dish or DTV type LNB plus a TV antenna input, this switch uses diseqc commands.

They both require external DC power and will run 4 receivers.

The 5x4 multiswitches that I have seen use 22KHz switching. 2 feeds from a Dual LNB to LNB-A(0 KHz), 2 feeds from a Dual LNB to LNB-B(22KHz), and 1 feed from an antenna or cable then outputs to 4 receivers. No DiSEqC commands in this switch.

For your 5 LNB setup you will need a 4x1 DiSEqC switch and the 22KHz switch that you have.
