:confused: O.k. I just cannot figure this out so I need your help. I have 3 lnb dish with 4 signals coming out. 2 go to Hughes hirde-25 receivers and the other two go into a 3x8 multiswitch that is connected to a Hughes hirde-25, two signals to my directv tivo, and I'm trying to hook up a Samsung sir-ts360 HD. The problem is that if I connect all 3 of these from the multiswitch I don't get a signal on alot of channels on the samsung and on the ones I do get are the wrong channel (If i turn to hd hbo it is a cbs station). If I disconnect the wires to the tivo and hughes the Samsung works perfectly. If I unplug just the hughes the Samsung works but the tivo gets no signal on about half the channels. If I unplug the Samsung the tivo and hughes work great. I have tried every way I could think of to hook these up and I can never get them all working. What am I doing wrong? Could it be a problem with the ground? Any help here would really be appreciated as I am completely confused at this point. Thanks

You need a 5 X 8 instead of a 3 X 8 multi switch without four lines from the built in multiswitch you are only feeding the 101 signal to the receivers connected to the 8 way multiswitch.
