I have a 3 lnb dish and a 4 X 4 multiswitch. Could someone please show me how to connect the LNBs to the multiswitch. Thanks in advance.
If you have the older Phase III 3 LNB dish, there are four coax connections on the LNB assembly itself. Simply run coax from each of those connectors to the four input connections on the multiswitch. It does not matter which is which, but all 4 must be connected.
If you have the newer Slimline dish and there are four coax connections on the LNB assembly, then the wiring is done the same way, but a 4x4 multiswitch will NOT support HD.
Not sure though why you want to use a 4x4 multiswitch when you already have 4 outputs from the LNB assembly. Just skip the switch and run your wiring directly to your receivers.

I seem to recall that two of the leads from the LNBs were foined using on of those little splitter gizmos in reverse and this was then connected to the multiswitch. There are three separate LNBs - this from back when they sent out a Sat C lnb.

If that is indeed the old dish with the sat C kit, then the 101 LNB is connected to the 13v and 18v Sat A inputs on the 4x4 switch. One of the outputs from the 119 lnb is connected to the 13v/22khz input (sat B) on the switch the other 119 output connects to the sat C kit combiner along with output from the sat C LNB. The combiner's output connects to the 18v/22kz input on the 4x4 switch.
