what do I need if I wanted to add a 3rd receiver?

Hi I have a Dish 500 legacy quadwith a 4900, and a 3000 model receivers. What do I do if I wanted to add a model 111 receiver as a third receiver? Any diagrams? thanks

A Quad is capable of handling up to 4 recievers. Just run one more line.

And if you have a 2nd dish in the mix just add a sw21 to that 3rd line.

I didn't install my dish.

I have two single lnb's on a y adapter with two outputs on each lnb

If those LNBs do not have the DishPro logo on them (you said they are working with the old receivers, you don't have an adapter), you need an SW44 or SW64. One line from each LNB output to the corresponding input on the SW44 then one line from there to each tuner. And the power inserter inside the house between the line to SW44 port 1 and its receiver.

Or, as Iceberg points out below while I was still editing this replace the two LNBFs with a Legacy Quad.

Honestly get a Legacy quad. Much easier than a SW44 switch (and less problems to go out)

how much would dish charge to install a 3rd receiver 111?

if you know who your original retailer was... call them and ask them what you can get under the exsisting customer promotions..
if you don't know who the original was, call dish and ask about the Dish N it up promotion....
