If you have too long of a cable run the diseqc switch wont work . I had that problem and used my sw21 switch with no problems . I now however are using my dtv oval dish with the 4 lnb bracket to get 91 110 and 119 all at once and had to put and amplifier in the line half way in the cable run to make it work . Now with the signal amp i have 98% signal on all 3 sats.

I bought mine from this guy on ebay Zimscat. I got them really quick from him . So far they work wonders . Just search his name you will see his auctions.

There is no advertising here alowed.
You will need a 4 in 1 not a sw21. Sw21 will work on some FTA not all most dont work with the sw21. Just get a 4 in 1 switch mili has them here.
