I have accumulated a 'freebie'satellite dish package containing a 18x24" elliptical dish, 2 dual DTV LNBs, a three position LNB arm, and a Channel Master 4x4 multiswitch. I would like to be able to use this dish for Sats 110 & 119 for attachment of two more FTAs. I have read,read,read, and read some more but haven't seen this setup anywhere on any sites. Would someone please evaluate this and point me toward a solution. My attachment of pics was too large, so I can't show my Hdwr. My present installation is with (2) 18" round DTV dishes with dual LNBs on each......one dish pointed at 110 and the other at 119. Works great, but I would like to hook up (2) more rcvrs without adding (4) more dishes !! Thanks in advance, 9ball

Just put the present 2 round dishes into the 4x4 multiswitch and then run 4 cables from switch to 4 receivers..then set up your installation remote configuration...standard LNB,112500,disque port 1 (110,2 (119,
No need for more dishes etc..all U need is the 4x4 switch, then using your remote, set up the installation configuration.
Thanks anonymous, I'll give that a try. I'm not sure how to set up the connection with the multiswitch configuration in the 'installation' > 'settings' menu in the other two receivers. Will the multiswitch act like a splitter ? I don't want the additional 2 receivers pumping the 13v/18v back up to the LNBs and be in contention with the 1st receiver's LNB voltage. Also I am not sure how to set the 22KHz switch option in the setup menu for the other 2 receivers. Right now, with just the one receiver, the 22KHz option is 'ON' for each dish.
