I just like to thank everyone here who helped me out with my satellite installation. I got it up today and everything works great "knock on wood. My system consists of a 35"x24" Gain Master dish with the tripple LNB setup and hughes Directv reciever. I used a 2x1 multiswitch because I have...

Thanks for all the information Darin. I think I understand enough now to make an informed decision about multiswitches. Before I didn't realize that my sat A and sat B LNB's were dual LNB's so the two cable connectors on them makes more sense now. With only one reciever I only need one LNB...

So a 2x1 multi-sat multiswtich can output 13 or 18 volts from sat A and 13 or 18 volts from sat B? Not simaltaneous but either or. Also my LNB's have two inputs so can each input except 13 or 18 volts? Because only one could input could be used with the 2x1 switch.

I'm a bit confused. After reading the FAQ on Solid Signals web site and looking at the diagram of my system it looks like the sat A and sat B LNB needs 18 volts and a 13 volts to switch the LNB between odd or even signals. If I have multi sat multiswitch with a single sat A and sat B input...

With just one reciever do I even need a multiswitch? Could I just connect sat A and sat B to a combiner and then from the combiner to the reciever?

Can you recomend a good multiswitch for my system? It consist of a 36"x24" Gain Master oval dish with three LNB's (sat A sat B and sat C) and a Hughs directv reciever. Obviously I will still need a 4xN multiswitch.

Yeah building one was a bad idea. I thought of the idea because I can only find 2x4 multiswitches locally and would have to order a 4x4. But if a 2x4 will work then I may just go with that. Thanks for the info.

So all I need is a switch with 1 input for sat A and 1 input for sat B and 1 output for the reciever? I have a oval dish with 3 LNB's and the instructions show a multiswitch with 2 sat A inputs and 2 sat B inputs.

Any circuits out there for making a multiswitch?

I will only have one reciver so I need one simple and cheap. I wonder if the ones at radio shack will work?

Ok, I got my Gain Master 35"x24" dish and I just ordered the tripple LNB assembly specifically for that dish. Now which multiswitch do I need to work with my Hughes Directv receiver? Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if the Gain Master 35"x24" dish will work with a Directv triple LNB? I mean as far as mounting and such. http://www.solidsignal.com/prod_display.asp?main_cat=2&CAT=&PROD=SACGAIN

Can I get a larger oval dish that will work with a tripple LNB?

Can I get a LNB that is more powerful than the standard LNB's?

First I could not get my local channels after getting a directv upgrade to recieve local channels. I kept getting ext. 721 and they said they would send me a new card which I haven't recieved yet. But suddenly tonight I started getting all my local channels. WTF is going on with directv?
