To add another receiver, could I just tape two more lnbs to my dish one beside 110 and one beside 119 and run the coax to a regular discq 4x1 switch and two the receiver. Or should I put up another dish, or should I get a switch that will handle over three receivers?

Thanks

The extra lnbs would not receive signals from 119 and 110 because they would be out of those focal points.

How would I get another receiver going then?

Thanks

ThanksWhy not replicate receiver one cabling connecting to the second port on each lnb ? (this will require a switch and new cable going to the 2nd receiver)

A Dish Pro quad lnb would feed up to four receivers.

Here is a couple of Legacy(Standard) LNB Setups:

This 2nd setup would be the "cleanest" with 1 4x4 or 5x4 multiswitch.

If you have DishPro LNBs then a DP34 or DPP44 switch can be used.

Is there anything out there like a switch that will take both 110 and 119 and then go straight to 3 or more receivers?

thanks

The 2nd switch setup shown is a 4x4 multiswitch = 2LNBs x 4receivers.

There are also 4x8 multiswitches which will feed up to 8 receivers.

Also you can use EMP Centauri switch for your Legacy Lnb's ;

for 2xlnb's & 8x receivers model : MS5/ 8PIU-4 (P.143-UP)
