EMP Centauri multiswitch 9/4

i have 2 dp plus lnb"s will that work with EMP Centauri multiswitch 9/4 trying to hook up 110 119 91 82

No the DP plus type LNB's will only work with DP approved switches. (DP44)

And you will need 4 single LNB's to do this right, one for each satellite, then that switch will work.

Or you can use a 22 KHz switch to go between the two DP plus LNB's.

you say..... 22 KHz switch to go between the two DP plus LNB's this will work? what i am trying to do is cut back on the cable going in the house, if i use 4 lnb's thats 8 lines going into the switch. i have 4 lines in the house now. running 3 receivers

OK, you didn't tell us about the 2 other receivers, you will need 4 DP single LNB's, (two on one dish, and two on another) and a DP44 switch.

One output from each LNB goes to the switch, one coax goes from the DC power inserter to the #1 receiver port on the switch,(by it's self) then the 3 other ports go to the receivers.

You can try running 2 cables from each dp lnb to the 9x4 switch. Connect only to 13v connector.
One lnb to sat a and b, 22kz off, the other to sat a and b, 22khz on.
Sat A is diseqc 1.
Sat B is diseqc 2.

there 4 13v on the switch ......run 4 lines ...one line for each sat then change 22khz on the receivers. Should i change lnb's runing Dual Legacy LNB ?

[Terryl]

The 9 x 4 EMP switch is a legacy switch, you need 4 single satellite legacy LNB's,(or 2 legacy twins, or 1 legacy quad) each with a +13 +18 volt switching input/output or you will loose transponders.

This would be 2 wires (coaxes) from each LNB to the switch for a total of 8, then 4 wires (or how many you need) down to the receivers, the 9th input on the EMP switch is for an external TV antenna.
