Want to use 5 receivers with 91W and 97W

[osokona]

Can I use the same single Multisiwtch with both 91 and 97?

If not, what's recommended.

Thanks!

The cheapest, most direct route would be two cascaded DP34 switches and two bandstacked DSS lnb's. Add a third bandstacked FSS and you could have three birds to five recievers.

not much on 91W that I know of...maybe some feeds but I guess some folks like to see color bars 24/7

This should work fine.
However, it requires some understanding of bandstacked LNBs,
- where to find them, (possibly surplus parts)
- how to use them with a particular receiver,
- how to interconnect and power the switches , etc.
So, it's a non-standard solution.
One I'd use, of course.
Lots of us here are non-standard.


Here's a more traditional solution that anyone will understand:

? get a 4x8 (or 5x8) multiswitch
---- this one might work, but ask the vendor. plus, it's on sale

? you will need two dual output Standard LNBs.

? hook it up like the 4x4 multiswitch example in this picture.

Thanks all for the quick replies. I think I am going to go with Anole's suggestions.

Iceberg, I was told that there were some south African channels on Galaxy 17 not listed by lyngsat.

If there are any, they're on C-band . I scan G17 regularly and never see any on Ku band.

 

[Mr Tony]

never seen any of those on G17...

Guess, I'll forget my project then. Thanks!

The christian network from South Africa is on 97W KU.
