I have a DirecTV plus Dish with 3 lnbs pointed at the DTV 101, the Dishnetwork 110 and the Dishnetwork 119 which happens to be in the same location as the DTV 119. Presently I am running 2 DirecTV non-plus IRDs off of the 101 and one Dish 500 off of the 110 and 119. I would like to add a 3rd DirecTV plus system and recieve channels from both the 101 and 119. I do have the 4x4 multi switch that came with the Dish but I discovered that in order for it to work I need to have both wires from both dual lnbs connected, the problem is that one of the wires from the 119 is being used for Dishnetwork. I thought about connecting one side of the 119 dual into the multiswitch and the other into an a/b switch with one output going into the multi switch and the other going to my SW21 for my Dish 500 since I will not be watching the Dish 500 and the DTV plus at the same time. If I did this I would still have one side of the 119 lnb going to the multiswitch when I'm watching the Dish 500 and I'm not sure if this could cause problems with either the Dish IRD or the Non-plus IRD that would also be running off of this switch to the multiswitch. If anyone has a better idea on how to do this I would appreciate your input.
