4 HD DVR's, how to hook up?

[Canuck Cable Guy]

I have a friend who is looking to install 4 dual tuner HD DVR's
He has the dish already, but there is only 4 ports from the built in LNB/multiswitch
Would he need another dish, or is there a multiswitch that can be installed using 4 lines from the LNB/multiswitch, into a second switch, so the 4 dual tuners can all have feeds?
Or can you split the lines (like DPP with Dishnet?)
Or does he just need another dish?
TIA for your help
Cheers

He'll need a Zinwell WB6x8 Multiswitch, and no, you can't split the incoming signal except in limited circumstances between the dish and multiswitch.

Hope he has the 5 lnb set up, or he's wasting his time.
