I currently have Dish Network with a dual-lnb. I have two lines coming into the house and a receiver hooked-up to each one. Here's the deal. I want to hook up 3 receivers. Some installers tell me that I can buy and install an expensive ($150) splitter on one of the lines and then hook-up and activate the other receiver. Dish Network claims that I must buy a new dish with a quad-lnb. They say they have never heard of this high-tech splitter.

Funny thing is, I have friends who have Direct TV and the splitter is exactly how then get up to four receivers all operating on different channels. They use a Terk Multiswitch BMS-34, or Recoton Multiswitch DSV95A.

So, does anyone know if this high-tech splitter will work on Dish Network.

Hi,

Nice tip here, but you had better spell it correctly, or people will NEVER find it---that's T-E-R-K (not Trek).

What mistake? /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

So, do you think this will work or do you only check posts for spelling??

Hi Mrwurm,

Sorry I can't help with a Dish setup. Better wait for somebody to confirm the DISH setup. I use DSS with multiline setup. Works GREAT.

around here, a used dish to do what you are wanting, is a lot cheaper than that switch, no matter how you spell it.
heehaw

Mrwurm,Have a very similar set-up with three receivers,plus an external VHF/UHF antenna.But,it's Direct T.V. I would'nt know why this splitter would'nt work for you.

That's right, you can also run your antenna through these things. It's supposed to combine the signals, then you use another item called a diverter or something like that to split up the satellite and antenna signals at the TV.

I have trouble find time or anything worth watching with 1 receiver.
