Need your advice folks. Currently I have a Bell sub and will be running NFPS with CW800. Right now I have 3 lnbs (91, 82, 119) but only the first two are connected with SW21 switch to the bell box. I need to do the following:

- connect the 119 lnb with a switch
- split the receiver cable between Bell and CW

First of all is this possible? Can I run one cable and split into two boxes? What's the best advice for switches?

Do I have to run a second cable to connect the second box. Is there a way to split and use both BEV sub and CW?

I have 2 dishes. One with dual lnb connected with an SW21 running inside home. Another dish with universal lnb not connected to any switch. My goal is to run a single cable and split for the two boxes (bev sub and CW800)

A multi switch does not work with a Bell receiver!

Use the 2 other outputs of your Bell LNB with a diseq switch then hook 82,91 and 119 to this diseq to your CW, keep your setup for the Bell receiver!

2 cables is needed to make that work properly, one for each receiver!

golam chow: You WILL need two cables. Keep your current setup intact and run a second set of wires from all three LNBs to a disEqC switch which is essentially a 4 in one out switch. Use this second setup for the CW connection..

Yes you can,follow my drawing above and do this
wire shown going to the living room first connect
to an A/B switch then from A connect
to Bell TV Receiver and from B connect the CW receiver

From a Multi switch to the A/B switch in the same room YES you can

Hello, I have a problem hooking up a switch. I have a 2 in 1 switch; I have the HDMI cable going to output from the TV, a Roku on one input and the Dishnetwork VIP722 on the other. The Roku switches fine, the DishNetwork doesn't. Any ideas? I know it sounds so darn simple. All I want to accomplish is to be able to swithc the Roku and the TV....

Thanks.
