Help with a switch

[Allamand]

I hope someone here can help me out. Some guy off Ebay sold me a Quad LNB, but it was a dual! So he sends me a switch instead, but I'm not sure as to hooking it up. It isn't a DN, as it is made by Millenium Ent.

The ? is, what sat to what LNB input? On is 13/14V, and the other is 17/18V

Thanks!

He sent you a dual, or do you mean a Twin (http://ekb.dbstalk.com/35)? There is nothing you can add to a Twin to gain additional receiver outputs.

The Millenium sounds like a multiswitch designed for only 1 satellite. It won't work for a Dish500 setup. Someone else who connected a similar switch to a Twin got 119 only.

Dish Network multi-satellite installations, which for the past few years has been pretty much all of them, require use of Dish's proprietary switches.

That Millenium switch sounds like it was designed for D* installations, not E*. As BobaBird said, Dish requires Dish's own proprietary switches.

Thats what I pretty much thought, and yes it is a Dual Dish500 that I have now.

I guess the only way to find out for sure is to hook it up.

Or check it against the pictures at the Dish Network Switch Tutorial (http://www.angelfire.com/tv2/switchinfo/). Note that whatever you have is not called "Dual Dish500."
