what you probably need is a sw 21 switch or a dish 500 ... the sw21 will tie the 2 dishes together ... or a dish 500 with a twin lnb will recv both sats

EBMS1 is right. You need to gang two LNB's together into one cable input for your receiver. So you can either use a SW21 to gang your two dishes together or get a dual LNB set-up for one of your dishes. Either way you'll still need to have the SW21 in the chain to gang the two LNB's together.

Best bet is to use a Dish 500 with a Legacy Twin.
