I am brand new to this Sat stuff, just had it with comcast.

All this stuff is still in the box. Need help before I get started.

I have a:
Winegard 76cm dish
(1)Coolsat 400 pro
sg2100

Going to have soon:
(2) Direct TV recievers may get 3 recievers still trying to decide.
Direct tv dish with LNB(thinking I will sell)

Plan:

I want to mount just one dish(winegard w/sg2100) on the roof.

I was looking at the QUAD POLAR INVACOM LNB that way I have one quality dish with one quality lnb and I can get linear and circular signals.

I really do NOT want to mount 2 dishes on my roof. Mainly because I have single handly decreased the value of the neighborhood with my race cars, race car trailer, tow rig, choppers, etc. etc. Actually I should just go for a BUD and really piss off my neighbors. :D

Questions:

With a QUAD POLAR INVACOM LNB I can have (2) Direct Tv recievers and (2) FTA recievers. Is this correct or can I have more recievers?

From the pictures of the QUAD POLAR INVACOM LNB I see 4 outputs 2 lin. and 2 cir.
-Is this how I would run the cable off this LNB?
Run 1 cable from LNB (linear output) to coolsat @ TV #1.
Run 1 cable from LNB (circular output) to Direct TV reciever @ TV #1.
Run 1 cable from LNB (circular output) to Direct TV reciever @ TV #2.

That is 3 long cables is there anyway to wire this different? I would rather run one cable threw the roof but is this possable?

I see these things called switches, do I need any of these for my setup? If so any suggestions.


Basicly I need help on how to run the cable and what swithces to use and where to use them for my setup.

Thanks!!!
