more receivers

[altadata]

Hi...
I currently have 2 receivers. Each one is connected to one half of a double linear LNB. The dish points to 97W ( Galaxy25 I believe is the current name ).
My question is how can I add a third receiver to this setup?
Is there a smart switch out there that can allow this?
Thanks.

You could use a Multi-Switch. They come in various sizes, such as 3x4 (for one satellite dual/twin lnb which inputs a V for vertical and H for horizontal and the other for OTA tv, with 4 outputs for as many receivers), 3x8 (same, but for 8 receivers), 4x4 (for two satellite dual/twin lnb's which inputs one lnb with V for vertical and H for horizontal and 22KHz Off and another lnb with V for vertical and H for horizontal and 22KHz On), 5x4 (same as 4x4 with added OTA tv), 4x8 (same as 4x4 with 8 outputs for 8 receivers), 5x8 (same as 4x8 with OTA tv), and you can get even 12 outputs or 16 outputs. Depends on what you want? Good Luck!

they're inexpensive. The 3 means both lines from the LNB and an OTA antenna. run both lines from the LNB to the switch and hook up 3 boxes

Ok thanks. I see that these switches work with DirectTV / Dish network also.
I just didn't know that you can mix linear with circular pol equipment.

They wont work with Dish unless its a single satellite (like 119). The switch doesnt care if its linear, circular, DBS, KU or C-band. Its the recievers that care

I use one of those to split my dish at G10 for 4 receivers
