Good day all.
I hope someone can shred some light for me. Trying to set up a bev rec with fta gear. Is this possible or do I need bev approved equipment?
I have a dish with 2 dual lnbs and a sw-41. I get 98% on fta reciver but when hook up the bev hd receiver. nothing.
I used to use fta stuff but rather just pay for service and not worry about up and down anymore. Trying to save on the install fee and not locking in for 2 years.
Please help?

That switch wont work.I have two bev set-ups ,one up north with a sw-21 running two lnbs and one bev stb
The other using a powered sw44 with 4 bev rcvrs I think you are ok with a sw21 if running one stb

Ok thank you for the information. I am only looking to set up one rec to 91 and 82. so a sw21 should do the trick?
thank you again for the help. I was out for 2 hours last night trying to set up this beast.
