What are the other 2 inputs designed to accept on the 6x8 multiswitch? If it is OTA or Cable, what do you need to use on the other end to separate the signals?

I thought diplexers were out of the question for 5LNB dish?

If so, couldn't I replace my current diplexer solution with a 6x8 multiswitch (even though I only have 4 receivers), and put diplexers on the end of all the lines to separate the signals?
 
I believe the other two inputs are for the additional sat's at 72.5 and 95 degrees. You cannot use them for OTA or cable input. Diplexers are not an option :(

Sorry... I figured 6x8 signified that, my mistake.

What do you do in that situation ?

you can use a 6x8 with a phase 3 dish also.

It's cable, not OTA.

And it's a necessity.

Run new coax from the second floor to the basement.. not so easy.

There is another switch you can use. It's 5x4 . That one has cable/antenna input . But you have only 4 outputs from that switch .....

I thought you had to use the 6x8 if you were using the 5lnb dish.
