3x4 multi switch question

[hjay04]

I know this is not really a FTA site, but since those sites suck, I thought i would try here. I have a 3x4 multi switch i took from a bev setup. I am adding a second fta stb and am wondering if i can use it instead of climbing up and adding second set of cables to a second disecq switch. I am running echo 110 and 119. it has two inputs 13v sat and 18v sat I assume 119 would go to the first one and 110 to the second one. any help would be appreciated. thanks

Your switch should have 1 Antenna IN, 1 - 13v IN and 1 - 18v IN AND REC 1, REC 2, REC 3, REC 4. So, you only have to plug another cable for up to 4 receivers (DTV, DN or Bev.). But, if you are running 2 birds, your best bet is climbing to the roof and get the cables for the other receiver. But, this is "testing"...

your best bet is to purchase one Zinwell 4x4 switch which will let you run 2 satellites to 4 receivers. A 3x4 will only let you run 1 satellite. I advise against just adding a 2nd disecq as you will experience a lot of switching problems when 2 receivers are in use.
