I have a Switch 64. Will this work on a Limesat Ultra & 2 Nfusion Phoenix & 1 Viewsat Ultra. I really don't want to use multi switches connected to 3 Diseqc . I want to utilize 119,110 &91 satelites. Thanks

The SW64 switch is a discontinued Legacy switch used for 3 dishnet sats to output to 4 dishnet receivers. To my knowledge, no FTA receiver supports this switch. You could test it with only 2 sats connected with a SW44 receiver setting(leave the center 2 ports empty), however even some receivers do not play nice with SW44 switches, let alone a SW64 switch, especially nFusion receivers.

Below is a pic of 2 versions using Legacy/Standard LNBs of 3sats to 3receivers(just add 4th receiver & DiSEqC):

Thanks for the reply. All my diseqc are no good, ports are crossing so getting 119 on some of them rather than 110 or 91. I ordered 4 new Axing diseqc switches. I have 2 multi switches, will have to buy another. Thanks & much apprieciated.

Reliable switching consists of proper grounding. Your switches need to be grounded using solid copper wire to an earth ground rod. As well, cables and the dish should be grounded. Many switching issues can be avoided by grounding your equipment, especially switches.
