I am adding a SD TIVO I own to basement for kids to watch TV. Problem is I have 2 HR21's and they eat up the 4 lines I have coming from dish. D* will come out and add a multiswitch for $49plus tax. Am i better off to buy a switch or having them do it? And if I do it can someone suggest a good but cheap multiswitch?
I would prefer to give a sponsor some business and do it myself.

Couple of ways to do this, like was mentioned above you can either get the Zinwell Wideband 6x8 switch;

OR

By chance do you still have your original dish prior to the HD upgrade? If you still have that dish, and don't mind having an extra dish up there you could easily use it solely for the SD TiVo.
 
wife would shoot me if I put up another dish and already have 2 mounts on a 1 year old roof so no more.
I will get the 6x8. I can just put it in the basement right? Where the lines come in?
