Hooking up to both DirecTV & Dish Network

[Taz]

Hello,
I am hoping someone can help me with a question I have about hooking up DirecTV and Dish Network both. here is the set up and the question. I am wanting to hook up one receiver to Directv and one reciever to Dish Network. I am wanting to get the 18x20 multi switch satellite dish. I am told it will let you hook up to 4 receivers to the one dish. can I get a 18x20 multi switch satellite dish and hook up the directv reciever to the satellite dish and then hook up the dish network receiver to it also and receive both signals for both service's? I also have a 18 inch dish on the 61.5 satellite........................ (Question) so would it be possible for me to get a 18x20 Multi Switch Satellite Dish and on one of the out puts on the satellite dish hook up DirecTV and on one of the other out puts on the satellite dish hook up Dish Network and run that coax from the multi switch dish into a SW21 Switch and run the 61.5 satellite dish in to the SW21 switch also which would run to my Dish Network receiver. (the Directv Coax cable would not go into the SW21 Switch, it would go directly to the Directv receiver) and then would this work my Directv & Dish Network receivers both which would be hook up to diffrent T.V.'s? if anyone could help answer this or have tried this yourself please let me know I sure would appreciate it. THANKS........ TAZ

Here's one way to do it: http://www.techweenies.com/dss-1.shtml

You may need separate Dishes to be able to do what you want. I don't know which Directv dish you are getting the one Bobabird gave you a reference to had only 2 LNBFs so a standard LNBF was used for the center 110 position. Directv uses a special LNBF in the center position for 110 it only receives the frequencies at 110 that are not used by DISH. The newest Directv dishes all run into their proprietary multiswitch so you can't separate the signals.

Boba..... I'm getting the 18x20 multi switch satellite made by WNC. where you can hook up to 4 receivers and it has the multi switch built in the LNB. and it has triple LNB's to receive the 119, 110 & 101 satellite's. will this dish work with both Directv and Dish?
