I'm new to this and after searching through the forums I still can't find a definitive answer to this question. I have a dual LNB dish and a SW44 switch with the power inserter. As far as I can tell this will only allow me to connect up to four receivers since all four connections from the two LNB are used by the swtich. The problem is, I have a fifth. What do I need to install five receivers? Hopefully someone can diagram this out for me. Thanks!
 
The easiest & cheapest solution is to put up another Dish500 for your 5th (and potential 6th) receiver(s).

You have 2 other alternatives:
  1. Replace the 2 dual LNBFs with a legacy QUAD, split the 4 outputs with 950-1450Mhz splitters, and install a 2nd SW44.
  2. Convert everything to the DishPro platform. Get a DP Quad, a DP34 switch, an DP adaptors for your legacy receivers.
