Zinwell 6 x 8 question

[carlospr43]

Does anybody knows if I can use a Zinwell 6 x 8 to feed an additional box to my existing 4 boxes?? Actually I'm feeding 8 lnbs to my 4 openboxes using 4x4 and 1.0 diseqc switch since all my dishes are fixed. I'll be using the 6 x 8 to sustitute one of the 4x4 so I can output to an additional 1.0 diseqc switch (I'm going to be able to feed to 4 more diseqc switches). Will the 6 x 8 work same as a 4 x 4?? Thanks [h=1]Zinwell Direct TV Wb68 Mutiswitch 6x8[/h]

yes but it really is just a 4x8 switch...the 2 flex ports only work with Directv receivers

quick answer, yes. The extra 2 positions (the 6 of the 6 by 8) are proprietary and would be hard to use, but you will still have 4 lnbf inputs (general 2 sats) but now can use 8 STB (boxes). See the switches simplified thread in the FAQ section sticky above. http://www.satelliteguys.us/fta-mpeg2-faqs/134124-switch-setups-simplified.html

Ice, you type too fast!

I just realized that in order to get the 8 LNBs I will need (4) 6 x 8 So I can feed all 8 lnbs to the additional Diseqc switch. What will be the most cost effective way to do it???? Is there any switch that I can sustitute in place of one of the Diseqc switch and can do the same job but with 2 outputs?
