I'm new, I seached, can't seem to find my specific case (if there is such a thing)
The thing I'm trying to figure out is, currently we use a terk bms-58 to split the signal (old dish), I know this will not split the signal for the 5LNB AU9 Dish. What I want to figure out is, the 5LNB AU9 dish has 4 outputs. Can I can hook 2 lines from the dish directly into HR22 (I know this will be fine) then use the other two cables from the output, plug them into the terk bms-58 and split the signal for 3 other tv's (non-hd r15 units)
Thanks in advance

No. Can't do that. It would work for about 30 minutes before the turk burns out. Get yourself a wb68 multiswitch. Connect all 4 line from your dish to it, and all of your receiver lines out from it.

Thanks for the fast response, in order to save a little cash, I'm thinking of leaving my old dish/switch setup and then install the new dish directly into the hr22, there's 4 outputs on the dish, can I just pick two?

Sure that would work. Or you could use 4 off of the new dish and just use a single line off of your old dish.
This way no switches to worry about except whats built into the lnb.
And those wb68's are pretty cheap on ebay, I just put the super-expensive sadoun link up so you know what to look for.
