What type lnbs and switch are you using on your existing dish? You will need to live in or close to Canada to be able to get a signal from 82W.

More info is needed, like the types of LNB(s) you have now and the type of switch you are using now, also what brand of receiver will help us a bit.

As for 82 and 91 I would recommend a second dish* with a twin LNB (or 2 dual LNB's) and a second Diseqc switch, then the 2 outputs of the 2 switches (1 for 110/119/129 (if you have one) and 1 for 82/91) would run to a 22 KHz switch (the type used depends on your current setup) you then set the 22 KHz option in your satellite settings to, 22 KHz off for the 110, 119 and 129 satellites, and 22 KHz on for the 82 and 91 satellites.

Then there are also 8 input Diseqc switches but your reciver needs to be capable to handle a Diseqc 1.1 command structure.

Now comes a little problem, 82 West is a Canadian satellite, you cant receive it very well in most of the US, if you live above a line say from Philadelphia, PA West to say Portland, OR you might have no problems with 82 W, but below that line you might.

* There are very few Dishes that can handle a 47 degree beam spread, this would be the spacing of the LNB's from 82 all the way to 129, two Dish's that could would be the T-55 or the T-90 but those two take special LNB's for the circular polarized satellites like 82, 91, 110,119 and 129.

you need switch 21 or 22khz , put 82 and 91 in each lnb of sw 21 and the one TO RECIEVER put on the open port of your disecq switch

you could swap out the 4x1 cheita with an 8x1. Im sure it must be compatible with ur ILink. Im using a Nimbusat 8x1 right now with my LSMax. This will give you up to 8 sats for the single stb.

I should add if you went with the 8x1 and ur ILink doesnt have a disqec 1.1 option in the settings, then u can use the 1.0, assign ur first 4 sats to ports 1-4 and then for the rest of ur sats assign them ports 1-4 with 22khz ON. This will allow you 8 ports under disqec 1.0. So sats 1-4 with 22khz off and 5-8 with 22khz on.

Given that you have the Bev subscription how many and what models of Bev receivers do you currently have? Does your Bev setup use the old Legacy LNBs or the new DPP LNBs. We need to know this info before we can tell you what switches you will need to connect any FTA STB.

Ottid is correct.

My bad, my suggestion does make the assumption that you have an unused output on each of your bev LNB's. I realize that is an awfully large assumption.
