Hi! If you want to run 2 recievers you will need a dual LNB dish ,the switch21 does`nt work with FTA units.good luck

And you can use a diseq switch if your reciever supports this protocol. These work with FTA recievers (that support it).

I had a sw21 switch before and it did not work with my DG6800. I got the diseq switch and it worked fantastic.
