More on transfering smart cards I went on-line chat with tech.dishnetwork.com to see if I could get the smart card transferred from the defunct 311 receiver to the replacement. After a long dialog with the guy it looked like it was a go so we ended the session and I waited for the replacement...

Thanks for the replies. With the mixed opinions it sounds like I am in for a round of roulette. Any opinions as to how to better the odds - phoning CS or doing this on-line, for example? Jim

One of my 311s died (doesn't see either 119 or 110) so I bought another one from eBay as a replacement. The Seller says it's clear but I haven't verified that yet and it came without a card. Without a card installed the S# shows S00-xxx so I presume that it is going to need a card. Should...

I think I'm at the end of my odyssey. I installed the SW64, diplexers and DP311 receivers and everything seems to work just fine. All of the receivers see all three satellites and the signal quality is good - even with some pretty long runs of RG59. Many thanks for the guidance!

boba: Software is P438 on all four receivers. Jim

I will check the software versions. In the mean time here is what I found out - as Alice said "this is curiouser and curiouser": Just mucking around I re-cleared one of the receivers that didn't recognize the SW21 and swapped the inputs to the SW21 (put the dual where the twin was connected...

Bobabird: I found your excellent writeup on multi switches. Thanks for doing that. I've made some progress on the expansion effort (the multi switch odyssey) - I've acquired a quad LNB, a SW64 and I now have four DP311 receivers, all with current cards and "activated" on my DN account ($5...

You are right - it is a twin. If I understand what you're recommending I only need the quad if I want to connect three or four receivers and then I would give up 148. If I settle for two receivers can I use the twin with two SW21s and the dual on the 148 dish?

BobaBird: Thanks for the advice. Sounds like I'll at least get two receivers working that way for my three-satellite configuration. I'm not sure I care about any of the 148 channels but I'd like to have the option of watching them. I went on ebay and bought another SW21 and looked at...

I have a three-satellite legacy system (110/119 and 148 with a SW21 and a 2700 receiver) that works just fine for me but I want to add two more receivers. Now please don't go off on me here - I know this is really old stuff but it works fine with the RG 59 cable I have running all over the...
