hooking up sat 129?

[catman60]

a friend of mine has a poor man's dish, 2 single lnb's going into a sw21 switch for 110 and 119.he also has a single lnb dish that he wants to get 129 for locals. question is, how do i connect all 3 cables.do i need another switch? he doesn't want to get another dish

Three dishes and Legacy LNBs means a SW=64 switch as the only combination.

actually if you can find a SW-21X that would work too since its a single receiver setup.

They're on Ebay pretty cheap and the setup would be as such

110 & 119 into the SW21X (make sure it says 21X)...output of the 21X into port 1 of the SW21. 129 dish to port 2

The 21X switch is like a SW42 which is very old but allows you to cascade switches. I use to have a SW42 (4 lines in 2 lines out) and SW21's for 110/119/61.5

I have used the sw21 and 21x setup, but was told you can just cascade 2 sw21's.
maybe worth a try if you have one.

Realize the SW21X is not made by DISH Network and quality will vary and not be supported under DHPP.

I've tried that and it wont work. It will recognize both ports on the switch closest to the receiver but only port 1 on the "back" one

so? If you've seen the OP's posts its usually 2nd hand receivers and oddball dish setups. If it blows up, he'll just post here
