Multiswitch for my Slimline 5LNB dish
I am trying to help my cousin to find out which model would work for my dish. The one that put in by the installer doesn't work with the new dish (can't get the new HD channels) with the cable signal plug in. Will Zinwell WB68 work?

if you need more than the 8 outputs, then there is a WB616.
Thanks. What about another source from cable signal ?
Was this installed by directv? If so they should have given you the proper multiswitch...
Currently for the slimline there is the WB68 that has 8 outputs and the WB616 that has 16.
If you meaning diplexing in your cable signal, that gets a bit tricky with the new HD and you should search for diplexing for some reading up on that, lots of threads on it around here.

So you're trying to feed CATV too?dreamyip said:Thanks. What about another source from cable signal ?
This becomes harder as the new HD channels are in the same frequencies.

My cousin has this installed done about 1 year ago before the first wave of new HD channels were up. At that time, the cable signal was able to mixed in with the D* signal through the multiswitch but he can't see the new HD channels since. I am trying to help him to find a solution for it.Grentz said:Was this installed by directv? If so they should have given you the proper multiswitch...

This is where it gets harder because the BBCs that are used convert the 250-750 MHz band from the Ka-lo SATs to 1650-2150 MHz.dreamyip said:Yes.
Some have been able to diplex OTA/Cable into the output of the Zinwell WB68, but you need to move each BBC to before the diplexer [and diplex each output separately], and then diplex it back out before the receiver.
Also know that this setup is not supported by DirecTV, so while some have been able to make it work, it is up to you completely.
