More receivers

[vjgkam]

Ok,
I'm sure this will appear as a totally newbie question, but here goes:
I have a DirectTv dish with 2 receiver capability. I want to expand to 3 receivers, and was told that a multiltap, or multiswitch can handle this.
I share one of my dishes with 2 tv's and it's becoming a pain.
Any hlep will be deeply appreciated!
Thanks!

I'm assuming you have a single dish (not the Phase III)....The single has one LNB sticking out of it..the Phase III has 3

If so, all you need is a 3X4 multiswitch...you hook both lines from the Dish up to the switch and you can run up to 4 receivers off of it
