i have 4 jynxbox receivers and dish 1000.2 HD (119, 110 & 129). what switch I should use in order to run the 4 receivers?
thanks in advance...

You can cascade two DPP44 switches, this will give you up to 6 FTA receivers, but each switch needs it's own coax to run the DC power inserter out to the switch. This takes up the #1 port on each switch.
The DPP44 DC power inserter is not too friendly to most FTA receiver tuners, this is why you need the singe coax to supply the power to the switch.
You may be able to find another brand of switch, but it has to be compatible with the D1000 LNB, as it uses band stacking to supply all the transponders down one coax.
And as Dishuser mentioned, a second dish may be the cheapest way.

thanks guys.... but I have no idea what you mean.... newbie right here...���������� I have 2 DP34 switches but I don't know if I can use its...

A DP34 switch will not work with a D1000 LNB, it has to be a Dish Pro or Dish Pro plus switch to work right.
The DP or DPP 44 switch is totally compatible with the D1000 LNB, the electronics in the switch and LNB will sense each other and the internal switch in the D1000 LNB will shut down, the LNB must be wired to the switch correctly or it will not work right.
Ports 1, 2 and 3 on the D1000 LNB need to go to ports 1, 2 and 3 on the switch, this way there will be no conflicts with any port switching, then the #1 receiver port on the DPP44 switch need to be run directly to the DC power supply for the switch, this without a receiver attached to it.
The a second DPP44 switch can be cascaded to the cascade outputs on the first switch, to the LNB inputs on the second switch,(short coax jumpers) the second switch also needs to have its own DC power supply on the #1 receiver port, all coax used MUST be rated to 2.5 to 3 GHZ, regular coax used for CATV or off air TV will not work.
Once this is done you will have 3 ports on each switch to run your receivers off of, you will need 4 coaxes to the first switch, and 2 for the second, this gives you two spares.
Do not use the #4 port on the LNB unless you have the special LNB for 118, or a Dish Plus single satellite LNB, this port is an input only.
Also be sure to ground all switches to an good Earth ground*, the DPP44 switch has several connections for a #12 copper wire to be used for this purpose.
*Good Earth ground would be a 6 to 8 foot ground rod right at the dish/switch location or a metal in-ground water pipe, or lastly the house electrical ground, I prefer the grounding rod as it is the best choice for an RF system.
