Hello,
I hope this question is not too bone headed. I have a dish 500, to which I've always had a single receiver attached. Today I tried to add another reciever. I popped off the LNBs, only to realize that one has two outputs, while the other (which clearly came from an earlier dish of mine when the DishNet guy installed the 500) has only one output. An output from each LNB goes into an SW-21, and then the output goes to my single receiver.
If I had two LNBs with two outputs, I'd just add another SW-21, connect up both LNBs to it, and run the new output to the new reciever.
The way things are, I'm not sure what to do.
I could change out the old LNB for one with two outputs.
Could I just split the output on the current single output LNB, and run the outputs to two SW-21s (along with the outputs of the two output LNB)?
Should I get a more complicated multi-switch?
Any answers or other advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
R.
