you need a 4 and 1 switch for 4 sats

It's a bit more complicated then that.

First off you need to use 4 LNB's, the DP type single satellite LNB will work OK on a 4x1 Diseqc switch, but two DP pro twin plus LNB's (dual satellite, 3 outputs, one input) will not.


A single DP type LNB does not have an internal switch, the DP twin Pro LNB dose.

We need to know exactly what type of LNB(s) are on the two dishes, one large eyed LNB? or two single LNB's?

hello both dishes have these lnb's
24518

Both those lnb's have internal switches, so a 4x1 diseqc won't work. You could try a 22khz switch that passes diseqc commands. Then again if iks stops working for dishnet, you might not need a dish for 110/119.

A SW21 will also work but get the DN type, they are one of the best. The DP-Plus lnb is a bit of a power hog and since you are running two of them you might run into power issues, if that's the case you will need a DP switch (DP-44) with A/C or a DN sub receiver attached to the switch (port 1) to power your system. If you get the DP switch you will not need the SW21/22khz at all.
