hi there need some help please had bell expressview installed a dual Lnb dish with 2 recievers, i'm wanting to install a third reciever they are aware of that but want extra money to do so. the way they installed was 4 cable wires coming out of the Lnb bringing it down to 2 cable wires going to the recievers. we do have some knowledge satelite but not 100% certain,, been many years since we have had one. Do we need to install a switch to add 1 or more recievers or do we go from the Lnb unit it self than to the third reciever, any help would be appreciated

you said that, the way they installed was 4 cable wires coming out of the Lnb bringing it down to 2 cable wires going to the recievers. OK they must be a switch 44 outside on the dish, if there is then all yuo have to do is hook up the third receiver to the multie switch and run the cable to the third receiver
As above. You will have an SW44, mounted at the rear of the Dish. There will be 2 lines from each LNBF feeding into that switch.
From there, you have 2 lines running into your existing receiver ( I guess a Dual Tuner HD PVR, 9242/9241/9200).
There are still 2 spare output ports on the SW44, you can hook up a new RG6 Cable to one of these to feed a single Tuner receiver or use both if you just got another Dual Tuner model.
No more Power Insertion is required, that is on the line feeding from Output Port #1 already.
