The GainMaster which I have uses a triple lnb assembly and does not have any sort of built in Multiswitch. You should use the GainMaster assembly for the LNB's.

Ok, I got my Gain Master 35"x24" dish and I just ordered the tripple LNB assembly specifically for that dish. Now which multiswitch do I need to work with my Hughes Directv receiver? Thanks in advance
 
That depends partly on how many receivers you plan on hooking up to your dish. Figure how many you have (or may have in the future) and get a 4xwhatever number of receivers, probably a 4x4 at a minimum.
Most people nowadays seem to go with a 4x8 or 5x8(includes input for antenna) for futureproofing. This is a fairly popular MS;

If you are in an area getting locals on one of the new satellite allocations (72.5W), a 6x8 might be best.

If nothing else, call SolidSignal and get a recommendation.

I will only have one reciver so I need one simple and cheap. I wonder if the ones at radio shack will work?
