Switch Install Question

[bigOleB]

I currently have a 3LNB oval dish with built in switch. I have to add a single dish pointing at 72W to get my locals. My questions are:

What type of switch will I need to connect the existing dish with the new dish?

Currently, my DVR has two wires coming from the 3LNB dish connected, will I have to disconnect one of those to connect the new dish or is there a way to combine the new dish's signal with the exsiting setup?

Ideally, I would like to be able use two feeds from the existing dish and one from the new dish but still have the ability to record any channel on 101W while watching another on 101W.

The correct switch is a 6x8 to combine the signals from a phase 3 with a 72 dish. the switch will need all 4 outputs from the phase 3 connected and a single cable from the 72 this will give you all satellites at both receivers.
