I have two phase III DTV dishes. One gets the 101 and 110 sats and the other gets the 110 and 119 sats. From what I've read I can combine these signals by installing a multiswitch and running two cables from the 0khz outputs to the dish that gets 101 and two cables from the 22khz outputs to the dish that gets 110/119.

Will the Eagle Aspen DTV4X8 do this? It has 0 and 22 khz outputs, but does specifically say that it's cascadable.

Just to clarify your terminology. You will connect two lines from the 101 dish to the 0kHz INPUTS on the 4x8 multiswitch and two lines from the 110/119 dish to the 22kHz INPUTS on the multiswitch. But, that DTRV4x8 will work just fine.

Yes, thats what I meant - inputs to the multiswitch, not outputs.

Thanks for confirming the switch will work. It was quite a pain watching the NFL Sunday Ticket HD games last week from two different dishes. A whole lot of cable swapping was going on at the receiver. :eek2:
