Anyone doing any FTA work/projects this weekend?

Why 4 on the same satellite? They sell switches, etc to prevent you from putting 4 on the bird.

I havent used switches, I have 5 of them in the shop. I tried to use them before and they just dont seem to work for me :/.

What do you mean by they sell switches to prevent me from putting 4 on the bird?

My setup for those 4 dishes are just a single output Star* LNB on each (which is why I need more then 1 dish) so that gives me 4 outputs when you total them all together. (These are on Anik F1)

If you want me to be spesific, One is on "The Weather Network, on Anik F1R" and the other 3 are for my family purposes (non-hobby related) (Star*). And yes, these systems are all ligit, no stealing

So I am guessing you mean something like this:

Im not trying to get them all on the same receivier (as these pictures are showing), every dish, has its own receivier.

Does this help?

If the LNB was a dual, you could just use an old DirecTv 2x4 multiswitch and hook up 4 receivers to one dual LNB (heck they even make 8 output switches)
