Good god andrew! 6 rooms? 6 receivers? You're spoiled! LOL!
Not to change topic or anything, but could you tell me how to get DN in another room? I only have it in my main tv room. How could I get it over to another room in the house?

DTV switch won't work. And I the only way I can thing of is with diplixers, but these are not FTA friendly.

The switch you are talking about is a DTV 4x8 switch with the following spec:

Range: 950mhz to 1450mhz

A standard DISEcQ switch has the following spec:

Range: 950mhz to 2150mhz

This is one of the reason I don't believe it will work, but in this business you have to test, test, test and then report what you find.
