I am attaching diagrams of what I currently have (left), and what I want to do (right).

STBs in the pictures are subscription STBs from DN and Globecast.

Each solid black line designates an RG6 Cable run.

The dish on the left is DN SuperDish, with 110,119 and 121 outs.
The dish on the right is a GC (Channel Master 75E) with SuperDish stacked linear and circular LNBs.

I want to change the current setup shown on the left.

In the new setup:

In the room on the left, two STBs, DN and GC have to work off of single RG6 coming out of the junction/distribution box which will house most of the switches, I suppose.

In the room on the right, 102g and a DN STB has to coexist. The 102g needs to receive only the linear feed of the right dish, for FTA.

The room with just 1022 PCI card, is for FTA, should receive both the LNBs from the satellite on the right.

The fourth room has just a DN STB.


Can this be done without running more cables? If not, what can be done without running more cables?

No idea as to wether it will work and or if the non dishnetwork lnbf is compatible and if the card will recognize the switch. Does the manufacturer's website give you any information as to its compatiblity?
 
Are you asking if the non-DN LNBF will work with a DP34?

I unhooked 121 and hooked the Globecast LNB, it does work.

The answer is yes, for the most part. I am more concerned about what switches I can use.
