I have a Starchoice Dual Stack lnb system. I was wondering if the Zinwell SAM 3402 3x4 multiswitch will work with my system? I want to add another receiver and the switch that came with my system has only has 2 outputs. I sincerely appreciate any assistance.

Thanks

Steve

No - you need a 4X4 or 4X8 22 khz switch that passes signals up to 2150 Mhz

Here is the type of switch you need
SW44 4X4 FOR DIRECTV SATELLITE MULTISWITCH MULTI-SWITCH on eBay.ca (item 400090286363 end time 05-Apr-10 21:53:16 EDT) (http://cgi.ebay.ca/SW44-4X4-FOR-DIRECTV-SATELLITE-MULTISWITCH-MULTI-SWITCH_W0QQitemZ400090286363QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_2?hash=item5d273d491b)
You connect the output of the 2 LNBFs to the 2 low voltage inputs

Thanks for your reply! So to sum things up, I need to find a switch that has the capacity to switch 0 kHz - 22 KHz tones?

Thanks again

switch 0 kHz - 22 KHz tones

Yes - the 22 kHz tone sent out by the receiver tells the switch to select the Anik F2 input
