I am about to jump into a dish network system. Before i go and buy the wrong equipment I need to know is it posable to hook up more than 4 ird's (standard dish 500 @110 and 119)

I've been to that switch info site and understand how to hookup 4 ird's to up to 4 birds but like i said i just want to hookup 5,6,7,8 ird's to 110 and 119

I see 4 output on dual lnb
I see 2 dual lnb setups with a toal of 4 outputs going through a 4x4 switch
I see 2 output dual lnb's

Where to start? what to buy?

Or do i just need 2 dish 500 dishes with quad lnbs

Thanx

EDIT-------------------------------

Can i take 2 dual lnb's to 2 Chanel master 8 way multi switches. then run the 8/16 outputs from them to 8 sw21 switches?
