How to connect Dish 500 and 300 LEGACY to 3 receivers?

[GaryPen]

I've got a friend who wants to add a 3rd receiver to her 500/300 Legacy setup. I have an old 2700 I can give her. But, I am wondering what switch(es) I would have to add.

I believe the current setup is a 500 Twin and a 300 Dual with 2 SW21's feeding 2 Legacy receivers, probably 2700's. Unfortunately, she is 75 miles away, so I am going by memory.

To avoid having to make 2 trips, one for survey, one for install, I'd like to bring whatever I might need.

Any help is appreciated, and will be rewarded with a big fat thank you at the appropriate time.

since its Legacy, options are limited

-hopefully she has a quad which will allow to add a 3rd receiver...but not get the wing on that one (she would get it on the other two)

If you need the wing dish, a SW64 and 2 duals (3 including the wing) is what you would need to get all 3 receivers on all 3 satellites

Gotcha. Thanks bro!

She needs the wing on all 3 receivers for TVJapan. So, it's off to eBay for an SW64 and possibly some Legacy dual LNB's. (I may have the LNB's in my garage.)

I'm going to ask her to take a look at the dishes/switch. (Luckily, they're installed on her veranda.) Maybe she won't find it too confusing, and will be able to tell me what's there.

Good luck!
