I have two dishes with a total of 3 lnbs. What I would like to do is have one switch out at the at the big dish under the lnb cover to switch between c and ku bands. One cable comes from this dish into the basement. I have another dish which also has one cable into the basement. Where the two cables meet I would like to have another switch. All of this controlled by one receiver. Can I do it? Or do I go to the trouble of running another cable underground out to the big dish?
switches 3lnbs 2 dishes 2 cables help please

The dish with the two lnbs is the c-band dish. It has an Eagle Aspen c/KU lnb that has no switch built in. It has two f- connectors, one for each band. What i wanted to do was to put one switch at the dish to switch between the C and KU bands so I wouldn't have to run another cable to the big dish. I had only been using the C-band output of the lnb to watch PBS C-band but I switched it to AMC3 to watch Digital PBS on KU band
If c/ku was installed previously: input cable should have wires for mover, control wires for h/v switch and 2 coaxial cables one for c band and one for ku. Or does dish cband lnbf and ku lnbf?
If both c/ku have lnbfs then use 22khz(Dish Network) switch to control Big dish. Run two wires to DiSEqC switch. If lnbs are not lnbfs then you have no way to switch h/v.
