Easiest would be to get a DPP Twin and a DP Dual. You can goto fleabay or dishstore.

Is it necessary to have a switch in this configuration? I used to have two 500 dishes pointed at 61.5 and 110/119 and there was no switch between them. The cable from 61.5 with single LNBF ( DP Pro) was connected to the 110/119 dual LNBF ( DP Plus) and then one cable was coming out of DP Plus and went to the receiver. Is this possible to connect everything like that or I am missing something here?

There is a 3(satellite)x2(receiver) switch built into the DPP Twin.

The easiest way to get them is to have DISH Network send someone to install them for you.

Nope your correct. You need a Dish Pro Plus Daul LNB for the dish 500, and a Dish pro plus Single LNB for your 61.5 dish. You plug the 61.5 dish right into the input on the 110,119 LNB and run your 2 wires out . Even if your only using one it will make it a lot easier later if you add another receiver. Then for a 222 you need to run one wire to your location , and you need a Seperator placed at the end of your wire for the 2 Tuners. and your set.

You already have everything you need. I'm a little baffled as to why you asked the question in the first place given that you already knew how it was done.

Don't for get to run the Backfeed to your tv2 location from your 222, Unless your just using both tuners for PIP..

Dont be baffled, I dont have the LNBs yet, just the receiver, truing to complete the system and was not sure if I need the switch
