I recently had a Mover's Connection install and I'm not sure if I need a multiswitch for my situation.

I have a triple-LNB dish (apparently a newer model) and I believe it has a built-in multi-switch. There are 4 wires coming out of the dish and there's no switch on the back like my old dish had.

I'd like to run a couple of other lines for other satellie receivers. The best access point is up in the attic where I found the installer had used a coupling running wire from the dish to a bedroom. So here's my question: can I put a multi-switch where that coupling is and run my 2 new lines off of that?

Yes, that's exactly what you need to do. You need a 4x8 multiswitch. The best example of that is the Zinwell SAM-4803. It is powered, so you'd need power in the attic or another rg6 coax from the wall wart to the switch.
