Yes you can but why instead of the ab switch dont you use a sw21 multiswitch? its much better and you dont have to be flipping it, besides if yo want to watch both satellites the IRD will only receive one at a time since its not detectin a multi switch to give you the guide for both sats, you would have to be checking for multi switch every time you change the sat.

Yep SW21 switch is definately the way to go.

When I was living in B.C., I used a 30" dish for 110 and a 18" for 119.

Worked great and had a good signal for both.

I have 2 single directv dishes, if I get 2 sw21 switches , will I be able to watch 110 and 119 satellites, on 2 receivers?

They have a different switch that will do this.

Can't recall the model number.

Same thing as a SW21, but with four outs.

If you already have two SW21 switches, yes, you can cascade them.
