Dish Network with 3 receivers?

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

Ain't that the truth/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

But everyone doesn't want to not watch the same thing.../w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Ok, finally got the real facts from a third installer. He said that the switches I described will work on my old DISH300 system but not on the new DISH500 system. He said there is another switch (more expensive) that will work on both the new and old system. The idea here is that I will probably be forced to upgrade my dish to the new DISH500 system in the future. So, he says it costs about the same to get a new dish with the quad-lnb and then I will be up to date with the latest technology. So, I guess that solves it. The switch will work but it does'nt make sense to buy it for old technology when the new technology upgrade will solve my problem and cost about the same.

Funny new TV story...my last "new" TV I got at the bargain basement price of $0...was at the dump dropping of a load of stuff and there is a 25inch color tv sitting there, and I said to myself "that looks to good to be in the dump" so I brought it home, plugged it in and now 3 years later still going strong.

The little door that covers the knobs was broken off, but besides that can't find a thing wrong with it....the things people throw out these days,

BTW: This is a 25 inch color with built in stereo speakers etc. Still can't believe someone just threw it out.

I have installed several Dish systems for myself, friends and family including multiple multi dish systems. If you have one dual LNB with a receiver connected to each output and don't need to upgrade to Dish 500, then either adding a SW42 switch or another separate dish will get you what you want. I'm not sure what this will cost you though. The Dishmover program used to provide a new Dish 500 dish for about $75 to $100. You can message me off thread if you need more info.
