Good morning, I have a legacy setup, 3 sats going to an SW64 then to 4 receivers (1 508 and 3 510's) I would like to add either a 921 or 942 and keep all four receivers or get rid of one. Is this http://www.dishnetwork.com/download...n/install-5.pdf the only way to accomplish this? I'd rather not switch to dish pro as my sats are really high up on the roof and not easily accesible to swap out the lnbf's. Thanks.
 
I believe the best choice would be a second SW64 with the load feedthrus and splitters shown at the following link.

Do a price check to determine if keeping legacy is cheaper than dishpro (I got to believe it would be). But no matter which method you choose you're going to have go on the roof and run up to four more coax lines into your house to where the sw64 are located.
 
I discourage stacking SW64's - the number of interconnects is a rat's nest of failure points.

Yes, it will cost a bit more, but a DP-Twin (NOT DPPlus) & DP Single feeding a DPP44 gives you an easy way to run a dual-tuner 9xx plus 3 other tuners - and add a DP21 for a fourth one if you can live with it having only 2 birds coming in.
