Multiswitch Brands and Compatibility

Will a Gecen MS 3401 3x4 Multiswitch work on Dish Network Pro LNB Twin with 311 Receiver?

Will a Zinwell SAM 3402 3x4 Multiswitch work as well?

Are these items a direct replacement for SW34 by Dish Network ?

No. Dish Network Dish Pro LNBs only work with Dish Network Dish Pro switches.

sure are.... but not for a DP34 switch. those types of switches will work with Legacy dish network lnbs... but not Dish Pro stuff (completely different technology)

Your reserch must be based on a keyword "DiSEqC".

 

[Mr Tony]

If you have a DishPro Twin LNB, you need either a DP34 or a DPP44

3x4, 2x4, 4x4, 4x8, 4x16, etc Multiswitches DO NOT work with Dish Twins

Well, SOME of them will works with Dish - legacy, DP or DPP technologies, IF the manufacturer stated that.

But only limited applications with one satellite and Legacy only.

hehe, following the path - check Spaun, they have DiSEqC ie DP compatible switches and not only ( if you did MDU by yourself you should know )
