ok, a friend has 1 ird, 3 dishes (single lnb's) and 2 sw21's. I he aims dish 'a' at 119 and dish 'b' at 110, connects them to swA (lets call that output 'swA out'), and then aims dish 'c' at 63, connects that to swB with 'swA out', can he connect his ird to swB out and get all 3 birds?
Remember: only one ird.

119+110=swA, swA+63=swB, swB= all 3????

I think this will work.
Anyone able to confirm or deny?
Thanks

what you'll need is a SW44 switch and dual Lnb's all the way around. or this, use a newer dish 500 lnb setup, called a Twin500. connect ONE lead from the Twin 500 to a SW21 switch, (the Twin500 will hit both the 119 and the 110 birds)connect this to Dish1 on the SW21 switch. then take the extra dish (single lnb will work) and point at the 63 bird. connect it to Dish2 connection on the SW21 switch.
then perform a Check Switch on the IRD, "MENU, 6,1,7 on your remote" check switch.
this is what it will say. SW21-3 SAT is the switch box installed. a SW21 into a SW21 will not do the job. not from my expierences anyway.
