What switch do i need for Galaxy 19 (97W)

[petedishnet]

Hi Guys,

I currently have my dish pointed at 97 W (Galaxy 19) with a standard linear Dual lnb, now i need to add a third receiver to the mix, what is the best way to go about doing this? someone suggested SW24 but i am not sure if they work with true FTA setup ?

Thanks for your help.

You can use a a 2x4 or a 3x4 switch to do this. The Dish Store (gold sponsor above) has a Eagle Aspen/Zinwell 3x4 for $5.00 right now but you can get them any where even Rat Shack

it depends...I know in Canada the switch we call a 3x4 (3rd port for antenna) they have called it a SW24. Usually switches that start "SW" are Dish switches and dont work right but I've seen examples where they are the same thing as what we use for FTA/Directv. As long as it has an input for 13v and one for 18v posted it will work.

Here is a fleabay canada link that shows a SW24...this version will work

I had one of these RPS Satellite

That was on a Geosat 90cm I no longer own, it worked fine, mind you rps is like a 20 minute drive from me. I'm sure you will find a switch local.
