multiswitch

[rstinson]

Where can I buy a multiswitch? I just received my new Toshiba DST 3000 yesterday. I hooked it up to two round dishes, one pointing at 110 and the other at 119. I installed a A-B switch and connected it to the 3000. But everytime I try to set up 119 to download the program guide it automaticaly jumps back to the 110 bird in setup and says searching for sattelite. If I go into dish setup and tell it that the dish is a round dish, then go back to switch it to the 119 bird it says that it will not pick up that bird with my current dish setup. So I go back into setup and change it back to oval dish with two LNBs. I then go back to to change it to 119. I then pick up a good signal from 119, but when I back out of setup it looses the signal and switches back to the 110 bird in setup? Also for some reason Icannot get all the PPVs only the first 19 channels? Thanks in advance for any help.I usually can figure this stuff out myself, but this has me stumped. Sorry about this long post.

I myself have been in the market for a multiswitch so I have been looking for them as well. What I found mostly is a switch that let's you run multiple IRD's with one dish. What is needed with HDTV is the opposite, multiple LNB's with one IRD. I don't think that one will work for the other? I am not sure though. I have found a particular one that comes with the HDTV oval dishes used specifically for HD receivers and it has inputs for EACH dual LNB. I would appreciate some clarification on this.

Kenan,
Found a 4x4 multiswitch on Yahoo auction for 54.00 shipped to your house. It has two input feeds for the 110* and two input feeds for the 119*. It then feeds four receivers. You can e-mail him at jonline@abac.xxx. He will help you. This was what was wrong with my set-up , I only had one coax coming out of each LNB into the A-B switch.
Hope this helps.

This switch is specifically designed for reception of 101 & 119 Satellites. It is also weatherproff and is powered by the IRD.
