Second Dish Install Question (61.5 deg)

[glenn z]

I currently have a Dish 500 and I'm about to call and have a second dish installed so I can get all my locals and HD programming. I have four receiver setup with the switches located in a closet inside the house.

How will the cable from the new dish combine with the Dish 500? I know this is probably a somewhat stupid question but I'm just curious as to how they will combine.

SW64 6 cables in from 3 dishes and 4 cables out to your 4 receivers.

Ahh, wouldn't a DP 3:4 switch work here? I got a DP 3:4 with my dish 500 install back in Sept...would think that you could hook up a 61.5 dish into that and send it out? Well, assuming they are all Dish Pro.

You would be correct..the DP 3:4 is for DishPro, whereas a SW64 is for legacy equipment
