I have a Terk 5/8 (Sat A 13V, 18V; Sat B 13V, 18V; UHF/VHF). I always had 4 different satellites and never understood that I was missing many of the channels. I have used DiSEqC switches but it seems like one of the inputs did not work. I finally figured out that these "4 input" switches are really only made for two satellites. Is there a switch that would allow 13V/18V for 4 or more satellites? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm not familiar with Dish, but with the proper dish and switching you should be able to access all satellites.
Why do you think you're missing some satellites?
This section of the forum should be of help.

Is there a performance difference between 13V and 18V? Maybe the alignment is off just a bit and when I use both feeds from the lnb more channels are found by the scan. This more than likely the problem if the 5V difference is not significant.
You haven't said what receivers you have,
to get four satellites you either need to use an SW64/SW21 cascade (good for max of two receivers) or switch to a Dishpro setup with a DPP44 switch.
With legacy LNBs 13V = odd polarity 18V = even polarity (both are needed to get all channels on a satellite)

He is talking about "scanning" with Dishnetwork. My guess is that we have a hacker on our hands...
