I am presenly running a Pansat 2500 using a Disq 4x1 switch. I now want to add a second receiver (Pansat 3500). The 4x1 switch only allows for one reciver output.
How do I get out-put for two receivers?
I have read and confused - some say you can use a SW64 switch, or a SW21 switch or a DP34 switch - other say you have to add a new dish.
I presently receive 110, 119 and Bev. I would like to receive these on my two receivers.
Thanks for any help.

You will need the dual lnbs which you may already have. You will have to remove them to see if there are two connectors on each lnb. If there is another connection, use that to connect to another diseqc switch. That's alot of wires but must be done to run two receivers. There may be other ways, but this is probably the easiest. From what I've read so far, a SW21 is only good for dish or bell receivers. Probably the same for a SW64 switch.

Thanks for the advice. I will have to wait for a break in our winter weather. It is impossible to get on the roof at this time.

I am not 100% sure but I think it will interfeare with the LNB switch inside. You may half to add another dish.

try what soul suggests in post #6, and connect a cable from the IF output of the 2500 to the IF input of the 3500. It should work fine.
