4 lines for SW44 Switch and only one HD Receiver

[stooky]

I have read lots of stuff that says you need the 4 lines.

Why do you need the 4 lines if you only have 1 receiver?

I do not understand and I have not seen an explanation anywhere!

Thanks.

The SW44 switch needs four lines to work. However, you don't necessarily need an SW44 switch. There are many ways to connect BEV receivers. What model receiver do you want to hook up (single or dual tuner)?

I realize that it needs 4 lines to work..but WHY?

Does anyone know the mechanics behind the need for 4 lines?

The reason for 4 lines:
2 satellites with 2 polarities each = four lines
