Install question

I currently have 2 dish 300 (with dual lnbs) 2 sw-21's hooked up to 2 receivers. In order to add an 3rd dish for hi - def (61.5), what is the appropriate switch combo? I was thinking I could add a sw-42 to combine the 119 - 110 dishes and then combine those outputs (using the sw-21'1) with the 61.5 dish for my 2 receivers. Does this sound feasable or do I have to bite the bullet and get a sw-64? THANKS! Any Tour De France in hi-def out there?

That would be fine, if you can find an sw42. Microyal makes an equivalent called the sw21x, which behaves like one half of an sw42. You will have to use two of them.

buy a Dish 500 with a legacy twin, then you can use one of your 300's for the 61.5, and your current sw21 switches to combine to the two Lnbs together.

The legacy Twin is maxed out at 2 tuners so if you think you might add another receiver or upgrade an existing one with a dual tuner model (942?) just be aware that you will end up replacing it.
