Cascaded Multiswitches

[CharlyG]

Anyone have a good mnultiswitch for Dish? We're coming out of a sw64 but we need 8 outputs. We want to cascade another multiswitch but can't find a suitable one. They are a dime a dozen for Direct; Zinwell, Channelmaster. etc.

Thanks,
CharlyG

Off the top of my head, you might need to upgrade to DishPro and use a pair of DP34's in a cascade connection.

Considering how close the DPP44 might be to release, you might want to wait for that so that you'd have the option of adding a 4th satellite somewhere down the road.

As for D* switches, they're a much simpler device - maybe nothing more than a splitter - due to the D* technology.

try this setup:

it uses 2 sw-64 for 8 receivers ( used to use this one until today - got superdish)

you can purchase the all the required hardware at:

hope this helps.

Interesting setup. Never considered using a DC blocking splitter. What are the "Feed-through Loads"?
