Tech ? about DISH and DTV on one dish.

[telecaster]

Here is what i am tryin to do.
I have the old 18x24 Para Todos DTV dish.
I want to get 110 and 119 on DISH in one room
and 101 and 119 DTV in another room.
I have read the techweenies.com guide but it is for a different setup.
I am thinking i will need a 4x4 switch for the 2 DTV birds.
On the DISH side will i need some power passing splitters before i go into the switch 21?
Thanks

I don't know enough about what's on a Para Todos setup, but one thing for sure - it'll be a lot easier to just grab a Dish 500 off eBay than to screw around with this.

The DISH 500 will do me no good as far as getting what i want all on one dish.
I dont want 2 dishes on the roof.
The para todos dish was an 18x24 with 3 lnb's "101,110 and 119" on it ,no switches.

Thanks for your help.

One major problem is if it's got a D* "SAT C" LNB, it will NOT work for E* because that's a special transponder-converting unit.

Try out this websitelink.

Good stuff - but I note the the D* side can NOT get 110 (Sat C). Makes sense to me.

User has to decide if they want E*'s 110 transponders or D*'s. I see NO way around that on a single dish.

Exactly.
I would have no need for D* 110.

Thanks for the replys !!
