The only way I know of being able to connect (I always call it cascade) two sw64 switches is with a group load barrels and DC block splitters.

Just a quick Google search netted this supplier. Your mileage may vary with your own search, but it does seem to be a reasonable price.

You need the following parts...

#1 You need 3 of these...

#2 You need 6 of these...

We don't exactly have the "Dishnetwork" branded splitters anymore, but if you order that part we'll make sure the correct one gets shipped out that does the same thing.

Dang it...sorry Claude !

I should've recommended you 1st. The whole point I was trying to make was that it is possible to hook 2 up.
