I have been reading for hours and still am a little lost on the ideal switches I would need to accomplish what I want.

I have 2 dishes.

Dish 1 (82,91) has 2 Legacy D-Shaped Circular dual-feed LNBs
Dish 2 (110,118/9,129) has 2 Circular ROC 0.3dB dual LNBs and 1 Special ROC 0.3dB dual LNB

I am looking to have the 5 LNBs go to 2 receivers (Limesat HD Air, Freesat 800HD)

Hopefully I have supplied enough info to let someone help this old fool out :tehe:

You should be able to do it with a couple of 4X1 diseqc switches. Those will take care of 4 of the lnbs. Add a 22khz switch onto one port of each of the diseqc switches and you should be able to feed in all 5 to your receivers. In your antenna setup you would just set 2 of the lnbs to the same port but one with 22 khz on and the other with it off.

Thanks so much, I guess I was reallu overthinking this!

I have a few 8 X 1's, I guess I could just use 2 of those to get the results I want too, right?
