When running 6 Wallys on two chained switches, do both switches need power inserter?

To answer your question, yes I believe they do. I think the 3-3 was the only one that didn't need a power inserter to work right. That said, I've connected up to 8 Wallys on a single Hybrid LNB using Dish Channel Stack splitters. No switches.

Without a switch, wouldn't all the receivers have to watch the same satellite?

According to Dish Portal; Only the first switch in a chain needs a power inserter

No. That has nothing to do with what channels are being watched

Without a switch how do you watch channels on the other sat ? You know the DPH & DPP have switches in them ...rite.

Nope. The way the hybrid system works every Wally sees whatever satellites the LNB sees.

Because the switch is in the LNB. When you connect an external switch, it does the same thing except gives you more options to connect more receivers. how do you think a single cable running from the dish to a receiver? Allows you to watch any channel in your subscribed package?
