Greetings,

We currently have 2 DirectTV dishes, feeding into a 4 way splitter on the side of the house, feeding 3 TVs.
We're finishing out the basement & will need to add 2 more TV's.
Besides boxes, what do we need? I assume we can swap out the 4 way splitter for a 6way?

Thanks!
Lee

Can you provide some more info? What type of dishes and receivers do you have? Why do you have 2 dishes? Is it because your locals are on a different satellite? I'm thinking all you need is a 6X8 Multiswitch or SWS8 splitter if you have the SWM setup.

2 dishes for local & direct TV programing. Not exactly sure of the splitter & equipment, as it's a vacation home & we're not on vacation.....
I think the dishes are dual LNB, & basic stock DirectTV boxes, no HD.

Thanks!

I believe this is what your looking for. It will allow for up to 8 outputs.
