Multiswitch issues

[musicsix]

I currently have a Phase II Satellite Dish with Two LNBS added the SAT-C kit for HD Pack total outputs from dish is 5 2 dual lnb's plus 1 sat kit output.
I cannot find any info as to hooking up dish to multiswitch.

DISH switches are much different that DirecTV multiswitches. I'm not a D* expert at all, but I think the Phase II is your best choice of D* oval dishes. II didn't have the multiswitch integrated like I and III - RIGHT? If so, you can remove the special Sat-C LNB from the 110 center location and move the 101 LNB there. That would give you two "regular" legacy dual LNBs that would get 110 and 119. You'd need to connect those LNBs via a DISH switch to feed a receiver(s). A single receiver can use a SW21, or two receivers with two SW21s. To feed more than two receivers, you can use a SW44 or SW64 (think eBay) to feed four receivers.

If you sign up with DISH, they will supply all the equipment, switches, labor, .... The would also use current LNBs (DishPro) and switches that could carry both odd and even transponders for both tuners of a dual tuner receiver on a single coax. The switch for that is either embedded in the LNB (DPP Twin) or a separate switch (DPP 44). See http://ekb.dbstalk.com and search for LNB, DishPro, whatever.

D* uses a 22 kHz tone to select 119 instead of 101. 110 on Sat-C is fudged to make it appear as if they are transponders of 119. E* issues commands to select a particular sat (and supports more that two choices). The only way you would be able to use a D* multiswitch with DISH receivers would be if you wanted multiple outputs from the same satellite. An E* receiver won't issue the 22 kHz tone to select "the other sat" from a D* multiswitch.

Do I feel stupid! Why couldn't I see it was just the wrong forum? Pretty obvious to me now.
