King, I've recently had 18 inch dish for 91, 97 and a 500 dish for 110,119. I've just bought a Fortec Star 90cm dish with 3 LNB for 110, 118+119, 129-- to replace dish 500. How to connect for 4 receiver?
Your suggestions will be very appreciated.

6 sats to 4 receivers that's tough
Firstly
How do use an 18" dish for 91/97?

Secondly
- DP44 (4-sats to 4 receivers) maybe best affordable choice if yo have DP or DPP LNBF (about $70) from e-bay but it requires 1000mA which most FTA receivers don't support
- DP34 is very similar to DP44 but for (3-sats to 4 receivers)

- Either choice will still not get yo 6 sats to 4 receivers

There are some real high tech switches but still best will be 3 sats

Thirdly
Suggested solution will be to cascade yor own switches but yo have to very good wiring installer, on a scale 1 to 10 (must be 10)

Another possible solution is to use a DP34, one HF splitter, 2 or 3 22K Sw and must be good wiring installer on a scale 1 to 10 (must be at least 9) but fewer wirings

From Sadoun.com

Connecting 4 Receiver x 8 Dishes (LNBFS)

*

Hook each 2 Dual Output LNB's to a 4x4 MultiSwitch (you will need Qty 4).
*

Repeat 3 times for each pair of LNB's
*

Hook one output from each MultiSwitch to a 4x1 DISEqC switch (you will need Qty 4)

Setup each DiSEqC switch

*

Port 1 22k off
*

Port 1 22k on
*

Port 2 22k off
*

Port 2 22k on

*

Hook each DiSEqC switch to one receiver

Sadoun got one mistake
It's a 3x4 switch not a 4x4

It will look something like this:
But this is for 4 sats
Combine 2 sats to one by 22k Sw to make it 8 sats just before D-switch
I have'n sketched yet

No King

Like this but 3 4x4 multiswitch(select 2 LNB with 0-22Khz Tone) for 6 LNBs and use 3 port on 4ways Diseq
Select Legacy in LNB menu

Yep
I see what they meant
4x4 will slightly be less wiring
http://sadoun.com/Sat/Products/Zinwell/Zinwell-SAM4402-3A-DirecTV-Approved-Multi switch.htm

But I was gonna combine 2-sats with a 2 way 22k sw right before D-switch

But still this is a nightmare to connect and make it work even by the best FTA expert

Too much coax connections
I don't know if worth it

King and Plymouth,
Thanks a bunch.
Today, my friend draw this for me
But the problem is only 5 satellite were carried.
He told me if want 1 more sat, just get 1 more 4x4.
How do you guys think, is that possible Upload

Yes add 1 4x4 multiswitch and connect each output on port 3 on each Diseq

Yes that sketch should work
However to get to wrok

- Yo have to apply all coax coming from LNBs first
- One by one yo try one DISEqC switch at a time
- Connect one coax to each receiver and apply antenna setup also one at a time


Use RG-6 quad shield with snap an seal connectors at least from LNB to switches to maintain highest DB signal without interference

Coming out of switches to receivers can be RG-6 Double shield as it is less money
I get 1000 feet for $50

Wires to switches must be Quad shield
