OK. I bought a legacy quad LNB because my 721 ate my two inputs to the house. I need a least one more input to the house for the 508 which is on the way but I need 61.5 also as I have Sky Angel too. Obviously the quad gives me four inputs for 110/119 but what do I do for 61.5? I could give up on the whole plan and get Dish PRo stuff such as a SW34 but that gets pricey. DP Twin DP dual LNB, etc. The only idea I have come up with is a kludge I saw on a dish 500 where they fed each dual LNB in to a Aspen Eagle S2140 CE multi switch. Those two AE 2140's fed four SW 21's to feed four receivers so I thought I could put up the quad feed the 61.5 LNB to my AE2140 which would then go to SW21's. This is all stuff I have so I guess it is worth a try. Any other ideas out there?

Since you have the equipment(I assume you have a dual LNBF for 61.5) That is the way to go.

Do you need the 61.5 channel(s) on all three? If not, then you could just use an SW-21 to bring two of the feeds from the Dish300 into two of the feeds on the Dish500 Legacy Quad, I believe. That'd be a fairly cheap and easy solution if you didn't need 61.5 on all three feeds...
