Use a 3X4 DirectTv switch for FTA??

[Mr Tony]

Ive got a dual LNBF on my motorized unit and was thinking of hooking both of my FTA receivers and the C/KU receiver up.
The 1500 has a output to slave a receiver, but whatever polarity I have it set to is all I get on the C-Band receiver. (and that's not fun)

Can I get a 3X4 multiswitch that they use for Direct and hook both lines up and hook all 3 receivers to it? Will that work?

In most cases it will work, just be sure that you set your receivers to select polarity using 13 / 16 volts. The Magic switch selects ports using voltage switching and the lnbf uses voltage to select polarity.

cool
I was thinking of getting another C/Ku receievr and run 2 DVB and 2 C/Ku off the one LNB. Thats why the switch would be handy

I know right now I have the Pansat and the C/KU on the dual and the Pansat has to be on for the C/Ku to work
